Museums Should Get First Option?

Many rich tech company folk have grown up at the time of the Jurassic Park film franchise. Some consequently have both extraordinary amounts of money and an obsession with dinosaurs. This drives up the prices of more impressive fossils, to levels that museums cannot even contemplate. This may turn out to be the case, when the bidding for 'Big John' starts in Paris later this month (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2021/sep/01/big-john-largest-known-triceratops-skeleton-goes-on-display-before-auction). 'Big John' at 8 metres long, is the most complete Triceratops skeleton to have been excavated thus far. He was found in South Dakota in 2014. The bones took years to extract from the rocks. The skeleton was eventually assembled by Italian specialists. So, rather obviously, the fossil's production has been both time-consuming and labour-intensive. Appropriate financial reward is certainly in order. Having said that, museums should get first option (if they can offer a fair price) at the auction. It seems inappropriate for 'Big John' to simply be converted into home or office decoration.
