I don't think public funding necessarily means that the output should be publicly available. The benefits and risks should be evaluated, as they were in this case.

The results of public funding of weapons programmes and surveillance satellites are understandably concealed, this museum situation is analogous despite the risks being significantly less consequential.



The law has a few exceptions, like "state secrets". This case doesn't seem to fit any of them.


Oh for sure. We’re talking art here though
