Royal Tenenbaum's museum

Kids donate their Civil War diorama to museum. Museum "dismantles" diorama for spare parts, claiming "inaccuracies." Museumspeak: "To vilify us for the diorama when we had a useful future for it is inappropriate."

Reminds me of a movie. Gene Hackman, playing Royal Tenenbaum, is asked by his children how he liked their 10th birthday party play. "I thought it was unrealistic," he answers.
