in the last hour we have had a wonderful member of this bitcoin community step forward and offer a loan for the remaining 10 coin needed to recoup the stolen amount - this means that none of the items will be sold and the museum will remain intact

I would like to thank everyone who has assisted us in loans and donations towards this amount, you have all restored my faith in the BTC community and I am now typing with eyes full of tears

and I would also like to say to everyone who showed an interest in this auction that I thank you for your support and kind words. Thanks to you guys the museum will not be getting split up, if you all hadn't got the word out there we would not have received the loans and donations that we did.

Wonderful news!
I am happy to hear.

I believe that all events has a up side and a down side.
I your case where you got hacked, the up side might very well be that the museum as got a lot of publicity.
This is very important since the community had many new members over the last year.
Personally, I have recognized the Museum, but not given it much attention.
Only when the items went for "sale" did I realize the importance of the museum.
Hope that you will continue to expand the Museum.
