Ford, head of the Ford Motor Company in 1932 for $20,800 and then donated to the city of Detroit. They cover 4,032 square feet walls of the city&#8217;s museum and are have become a part of Detroit&#8217;s culture with visitor coming from miles to see them.<\/p>\n<p>Christie&#8217;s Auction House has appraised the Detroit Museums Art Collection while not including the Diego Murals from $452 million and $866 million. Although many of the works of art will not be necessarily sold, they can be leveraged against the city&#8217;s $18 billion debt.<\/p>\n<div>The museum is opposing the sale and had this to say:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"stcpDiv\">\u201cDetroit needs the art now more than ever to comfort its citizens&#8230;The museum collection is a cultural resource, not a municipal
