The Republic: "The Cincinnati Art Museum has rediscovered a collection of more than 800 antique musical instruments that had been stored beneath the facility and largely forgotten for decades.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the items span four centuries and represent more than 20 countries, making it an important collection in the eyes of museum officials and instrument specialists. The instruments include African drums, a Burmese crocodile zither, a Chinese version of a hammered dulcimer and a Native American ceremonial raven rattle."

Probably donated by someone who thought many people would get to see them. Unfortunately, this is par for the course for practically all large museums. The owner(s) would have accomplished his/her goal better by just auctioning them off or donating to a charity org. for resale!
