This museum in particular seems especially prone to buying stolen or faked items, though.

  Which is very unfortunate. Thankfully they are upfront about the research they do and its results. Hopefully they can continue to exist as we need more institutions with that integrity.

  Makes sense. Private/smaller collectors are probably much more likely to end up with fake items. Having said that, large, institutional museums do end up with fake items occasionally as well, sometimes displaying them for years before determining that they are fakes and removing them.
