The Collector and the Curator

A collector is someone who collects taxes, also alms for the poor. Someone who amasses a private collection, which depends on the particular, individual mania.

"The collector's enemy is the museum curator. Ideally, museums should be looted every fifty years, and their collections returned to circulation...."

Bruce Chatwin, Utz, (1988).
