Maybe the Art Institute could build a wing to house the Oriental Institute's collection. I think alot more people would then view their collection if it were there, and the Art Institute would become even more famous!

I haven’t been to the OI but I’m planning a trip. I’m certain it will be intriguing. I absolutely LOVE ancient history
