Tom Swope gets it right in my opinion:
The great museums and collections we have are the repository for our common human history. Their presence not only enriches the lives of those who live close but the many visitors who go to them. And now, like zoos and our museums help to preserve things that are in danger and being destroyed in the countries where they were found. They can no longer be viewed as outdated vestiges of colonialism, but as repositories of human history preserving it for all mankind.
