Burdick the Amazing

The Asian Art Museum used to occupy one wing of the de Young Museum, until the de Young was torn down, and has been rebuilt, and the Asian moved into the SF public Library building (extensively rennovated). While they were putting things into storage, the de Young "transferred" quite a few lovely items to the Asian, things that were more appropriately housed in an Asian museum.

From what I've been hearing, the Met thinks the Burdick collection is a nuicence. The HOF already has a library, with, among other things, original photos of almost everryone who ever played professional baseball.

It seems like a natural thing to me.
