Brandeis May Rent Out Its Art

Brandeis University -- amid widespread criticism -- backed off a plan last year to sell some or all of its acclaimed collection of modern art. Now the university is working with Sotheby's to rent out pieces of art, The Boston Globe reported. Details of the plan are still being developed. The article noted that loans from one museum to another are typically not made for money-making purposes, but that some museums have sought to raise funds by lending out portions of their collections.
