The Met being hit would be a great loss.
Hitting the Jackson Pollack exhibit in MoMA might be an improvement.

I think I just saw a "crawl" on FOX which suggested that Saddam had closed this museum some time ago for quite a long time, and UK antiquities experts who toured the museum when it re-opened collectively noted that everything in the museum looked bogus, like reproductions had been made in the hiatus, and then substituted for the originals. This of course implies that Saddam & Co. had looted their own museum
pre-emptively. This is a scenario that makes sense to me.
So what the looters got were knock-offs, basically stuff you would buy in the museum gift shop.
