And no, nothing in that museum would "redeem" anyone, any more than those statues the Taliban destroyed in Afghanistan (remember those--the ones that we were all so outraged over) could have "redeemed" anyone there.
I am positive that this was destined for a wealthy collector, whether here in the US or somewhere else.
It will be interesting to see who is involved in this theft. The FBI has their art theft group beginning work on this, and I will bet those artifacts (the ones that aren't fakes) end up in some interesting hands. Personally, I am hoping that we find that some were destined for the collections of high-profile DNC donors.
