The Dallas Museum of Art has long had an exhibition of the art donated by socialite Wendy Reeves.

The only stipulation was that it had to display the paintings, furniture, sculptures, and textiles exactly as she had arranged them in her French chateau.

So, the DMA built an exact 6 room, 16,000 square foot replica of her house.

Sheesh!
