Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment

Kritiker wie der Met-Kurator Oscar White Muscarella werfen dem Metropolitan Museum of Art vor, weltweit eine der größten Sammlungen von Exponaten aus illegalen Grabungen auszustellen. [1] Erst die Bereitschaft zum Ankauf illegaler Objekte mache Raubgrabungen finanziell interessant.[2] Leihgaben von vermögenden Kunstsammlern an Museen erhöhen den Sammlerwert und die Museumskuratoren fragen nicht nach der Herkunft der Objekte, um auch weiterhin Exponate erhalten zu können. Dieser Vorwurf wird gestützt durch den Kunsthandelslobbyisten Ashton Hawkins, der 32 Jahre als Rechtsanwalt und schließlich als Vizepräsident für das „Met“ tätig war. Hawkins ist Mitbegründer des ACCP (American Council for Cultural Policy), einer Organisation von Kunstsammlern und Museumsdirektoren, die sich u.a. während des dritten Irakkrieges für eine Aufhebung des Exportverbotes der irakischen Kunstschätze einsetzte.
As to the above:
I suppose we should not simply consider this a problem relevant only to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In fact, an objective observer might readily see that unscientifically excavated artifacts compose the vast majority of works on display in most museums in both Europe and North America, including such distinguished collections as the British Museum and the Louvre. In sum, I wonder whether this issue is of specific importance to the Metropolitan Museum, when it might be equally discussed in the context of nearly every museum of its kind, including the great museums of Berlin and Munich.

Ashton Hawkins, a former board member and executive vice president of the museum, has died. Any help with his article would be appreciated. Thank you, Thriley (talk) 16:27, 3 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
