I'm sure this quote from the Royal Academy of Music makes sense - but
it seems puzzling. Did cash-rich museums/libraries abroad want to get
the Collection and so money had to be raised in Britain to prevent it
from being whisked away?
The Spencer Collection was acquired by the Academy in 1998 with the
help of the National Heritage Memorial Fund, Mrs Jill Spencer, the
Britten-Pears Foundation and contributors to a public Appeal.
