<p>they started unloading all of the sculptures IIRC. I suppose that whoever buys the land can always put them back though. I meant ‘gone’ as in its no longer available for public viewing (could be wrong about this though.)</p>

<p>Donations wouldn’t do it. It costs the university roughly 150k annually. Even if they could get donations to keep it, they’d likely dry up quickly and would still only postpone the problem. Hugh Hefner certainly has the money to buy it. (and he lives in the area) but i don’t really see his effort to do so (other than for philanthropic reasons.) The Getty Foundation could do it too i imagine. The facts remain however. They got a court order for permission to sell the land and were granted that permission. They’re definitely selling it. That being said, i do like your idea of a shuttle service to the gardens.</p>
