At home, Los Angeles wanted the collection for its new museum; Governor Nelson Rockefeller wanted it for New York State; the Baltimore museum offered to build a separate wing. Hirshhorn himself at various times was rumored to be alternately considering turning his Greenwich home into a museum or planning to build a complete new town in Canada, to be called Hirshhorn, and donating his whole collection to his namesake city...
