I've donated nearly $1m in jades, bronzes, ceramics, paintings, and sculpture to the Honolulu Museum of Art over the past 10 years. The process is arduous and political: every donation must be professionally authenticated and appraised, approved by the museum's board and vetted by the IRS. I do it because the objects I handle should be in the public domain. We're also de-bulking as part of a long-term exit strategy: we'll leave this island carrying single suitcases.
