wouldn't this look good on display at NOMA?

A rare copy of the Magna Carta has been sold for £10.6m ($21.3m) in an auction at Sotheby's in New York.

The 1297 copy, which is one of only 17 of the document still in existence, went to an unknown bidder.
The auction item had been owned by American billionaire Ross Perot's Perot Foundation since 1984 and was on view at the National Archives in Washington.

better yet, a traveling road show, to remind people that today's Democrats aren't the only ones who object to tyranny. Let's start by renting out a hall in Crawford, TX, to show it off.

Huh. My great-grandmother would have especially wanted to have it. She traced our roots back to a signer of the document.
