A Patron is named by the Museum for a contribution to its founding or its standards. The honor is given. It cannot be requested or bought.
Taught this Museum its trade. What to collect and what to leave. Which pen. Which signature is real, and which was never signed at all. Every standard held here began as something Mario said first.
Named September 26, 2026
Told the curator to form the company, then showed him how. Spent hours helping build the first storefront — then told him the truth about it: that it was a store, not a museum, and that he should start again. The first person outside this family to own something that came from here.
