Owners fabric being in Columbia, Missouri asked friends from one job to bring them out of their homes in the state - "a small bed with Notre Dame, leaning against the wall in the bedroom. " But friends, it seems, only heard the second part of the request, and went to the Missouri House of collectors, took the first job that fits the description of "leaning against the wall in the bedroom," threw her into the back seat of his Toyota and drove to Columbia. What surprise owners of small cars when their friends show one of the best and most important works of the collection - the landscape "Grand Canal, Venice" brush Thomas Moran. Owners decided not to risk sending the canvas in the return trip in the car of their friends or leaving expensive painting on another night at the hotel parking lot, and eventually turned to the Columbia Museum of Art with a proposal to put it. Curator Will South, of course, gladly accepted the offer.
