Barnes himself approved possible move to Philadelphia
According to Bernard Watson, chairman of the Barnes Foundation:
Indeed, not mentioned in the film is that Paragraph 11 of the trust indenture itself anticipates the possibility of a move of the collection to Philadelphia:
"Should the said collection ever . . . become impossible to administer the trust hereby created concerning said collection of pictures, then the property and funds . . . shall be applied to an object as nearly within the scope herein indicated . . . such application to be in connection with an existing organization . . . in Philadelphia, Pa., or its suburbs."
