Yep, but there aren't any good alternatives. Locking things up in private collections doesn't help society, and doesn't let professionals manage the relics and also ensure they're genuine, and research their place in our history. What should be done is to make sure museums are located in extremely safe places, both from natural forces (like sinkholes, hurricanes, etc.) and also from political problems (this means putting valuable artifacts in certain countries is probably a bad idea).
