"The largest collection of religious art in the Western Hemisphere."

Which does contain many Old Masters. But we already knew that Lying For Jesus is very profitable.

Sorry, but the Russian Icon Collection is temporarily closed. Including many icons "from the Romanovs, the last ruling family of Russia."

Boy, life sure was a lot more simple when we had the Divine Right of Kings! The orders came directly from God, then to the King/Czar, then to us peasants. As I remember, in Czarist Russia those orders often were: "Start another pogrom against the Chosen People."

Mysterious ways, and all that...
