Breaking news today and probably there are many other newspapers with the story. The LA Times did not have quite as detailed a story as the Sun.

I heard the story first on NPR this morning and here is the URL for that story, which is only audio. NPR deals with the various gift issues: the constraints are such that the Getty cannot sell any of this collection, even if the quality if not very good for some pieces.

I wish I had some visuals of some of the donated pieces.

Oh hooray! A sculpture garden! Oh, I can't wait! That's what I call philanthropy! Just think of the thousands who will be helped by this useless donation!
