museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of playing them. all museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. works of art are bought from art dealers and private collectors or at auction sales. museums also accept gifts and bequests (遗物), but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. they accept only objects or collections that meet their high standards.
