Get in touch with the museum. All civic museums are very used to getting enquiries of the 'my granny donated you a hairnet in 1927' sort, and I'm sure they'll be happy to give you any information they have.
Is it because you think I'm too old?

Geeze. Comparing his carvings/sculptings to a hairnet seems to be a bit insulting, and sounds like I'd be just blown off. I think his works are much more substantial than that. Besides, I don't think it was "donated" as much as "appropriated" or "found".

Oh, don't be so bloody oversensitive. It was a general comment about museums enquiries (I work in a large civic art gallery). We get enquiries all the time; my comment was meant to illustrate the scale, regularity and frequent mundanity of such enquiries, and precisely that no enquiry would ever be 'blown off'. All are dealt with professionally, even if some museums may take a few weeks to reply.

As to the status of its acquisition, a lot hangs by that. Only if it has been formally accessed (entered in the register of objects in the collections) will they be able to find you any information, unless you're very lucky.

First thing to do is to contact the Keeper of Collections, Registrar or Curator in an email, giving all the information you can.

And STOP being such a drama queen.

Maybe you don't mean it the way it sounded.

 

Thank you, I think.

 

"Oversensitive"? Not me bubba. But since I can't see your face or hear your tone, it read negatively.

 

Since some of you regularly mix insult with your posts and call it irony, you could see how it could be misconstrued.

 

Happy gouging! ;)

Fargo Moorhead, ND/MN, its only seven hours away but it's a whole different world :) 

Did you know in 1964 34% of the male population of Scotland was born prior to the birth of Ophelia Turnbull-Archer?

Aye the movie is odd. Most of it is actually set in Minnesota too, even though Fargo itself is in North Dakota, but I suppose 'MOORHEAD' wouldn't have been a very good name... unless it was a pron filk that is :D

Pron filks have been waning in popularity here, but your point is well taken. LOL

Is that a way of saying that you personally are going off pornography, or are you suggesting that people generally, in your geographic surrounding of an unspecified extent, are no longer keen on watching nubile young women sucking and fucking and getting all their holes filled?

I am not saying either. I knew he made a typo and am just goofing on that.

 

I would venture a guess that pornography is gaining, not waning. It drives, I would guess 50% or better of all Internet traffic, and that is just folks at work. LOL

I was thinking of this topic at work, but forgot to kick it up again. (dance) 
I was wondering whether you could pressurize a cylindrical glass container enough so you can make it into a bouncing ball. I don't know, maybe one day I'll be able to do that... the day I can somehow protect myself from the flying shards or glass that might get everywhere.

Odd, but in a good kinda way. Like so many of the Coen brothers' fillums.
