Not as many as the Catholic Church feeds without selling it.

“If all that art was put on the market, how many of the worlds hungry would it feed?”

I jumped ahead and noticed nobody can answer your question. I also notice you have access to the internet, so if you’re serious about your question you can do some research, determine a value for the art in question, determine the number of the worlds hungry, the cost to feed each of them, how long they would have to be fed, and then do the math to figure out “how many of the worlds hungry” could be fed.

When you get the answer it would be nice of you to tell it to the rest of us.

“Just ask’n?”

Just say’n.

It would amount to about the same as whizzing into the ocean. Then it would all be gone rather quickly and you would still have the hungry.

I prefer it in its present state where you or anyone else including future generations is free to visit and appreciate the beauty and history.
Enjoy.

The above argument is a liberal-leftist type of shallow reasoning eg. Michael Moore.:)

A lot--for a little while. Then they would once again go hungry. The question is, how many are nourished by the beauty of the art, for centuries? There are things you can't put a price on.
