It now appears that were the museum to close the collection is unlikely to go to Cardiff after all. It seems that the portion of the collection that was gifted/loaned by the univsity will be returned and all the material that has been individualy donated or found in subsequent excavations will be put in council storage. So god knows what that will mean for the artefacts!!!
Does anyone know whether at a later date they could be sold on by the council or whether they have a duty of permanent care and what standards would they have to adhere to? Any curators out there?
