i'll take a vana venturi house, the farnsworth house...and the Schindler House---can i get those wrapped?

so Michael Govan wants to aquire houses in LA for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art collection as a way to preserve the history of modern architecture (NYTimes). He would treat the houses as museum objects that sheltered curators--oooh, i can see a fight breaking out over the Gehry Santa Monica House. Shit, now I really better get moving on my architecture curator career to take advantage of these perks. Actually, it's a shrewd move to publicize Michael's campaign to be named Savior of Architecture History in CA.
