Well here's kind of a funny one. So the Association of Art Museum Directors
has assembled a big batch of museum directors from all over the country to
put together a new set of guidelines and publish a report called
"Acquisition of Archaeological Materials and Ancient Art."
(http://www.aamd.org/newsroom/documents/2008ReportAndRelease.pdf)
Basically, it boils down to this message: "We need to stop stealing stuff."
Apparently tired of museums getting raided by federal agents with guns,
having to return pieces to the foreign countries they belong to, and seeing
their names associated with employees who may or may not have been involved
in slightly-less-than-legal dealings, the AAMD decided that it was high time
to nip this behavior in the bud.
