the result of selecting from museum deposits


Explanation:
the result of selecting from museum deposits

ie, they took their pick from the pictures, etc, languishing in the museum deposits - they weren't on display

I've UNHIDDEN this, as hiding it seemed rather churlish to the person who kindly gave it an agree (thanks to Marga!)
