Yes. Just a couple of Monets would probably do the deal. But it's not the Art Institute that is a party to that contract.

And this poll was by travelors. Just Regular Joes on vacation, I would guess. And we all know the public has no true sense of what is ART.

	We look at the outside clues that people show and make up stories. The stories are just stories. Interconnected. Making up stories is what human beings do. But, if we are wise, we can slow down, remember stories and learn.
