I would propose that this list be deleted. It serves very little purpose, unless one actually seeks to judge collections by their sheer size. Many of the numbers quoted here are misleading or inaccurate, even according to the sources cited here. There is little congruency between the objects in the collections being compared. Some include only East Asian materials. Others include Middle Eastern and North African works. Some are merely book or photograph collections, rather than "object" or "art" collections. Other collections are ethnographic rather than artistic. Given the confusion, it is hard to imagine what good this list serves, for really it only confuses the reader. One assumes that it was created in order to serve some other purpose than the careful comparison of museum holdings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ckkgourmet (talk • contribs) 20:25, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

I should further add that the list excludes several major collections due to lack of concrete statistical information (e.g. the Cleveland Museum of Art, one of the best collections of its kind, as specialists will tell you). This alone should underline the fact that size does not matter if quality is not there, too. The Asia Society in New York, which houses the 300 works of the famous Rockefeller Collection, possesses some very famous masterpieces, and thus would deserve to be considered as a major depository, but, obviously, cannot because of the way things are measured here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ckkgourmet (talk • contribs) 21:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
