Art institutions such as museums, galleries, and auction houses have for many years been characterized as reliable and trustworthy.

For instance, there was a tragic accident in South Korea that resulted sinking a ferry that carried 476 people. Among them were 300 high school students that were on their way to the field trip. From this accident, there were nearly 300 lives …
