W. A. Horn purchased the whole of the collection and presented it to the Adelaide Museum on condition that suitable space was provided (South Australian chronicle, 25 October 1890, p. 3); the Museum was not able to provide appropriate display space, and the collection was transferred to the Art Gallery of SA, where it was unveiled in October 1903 (Advertiser (Adelaide), 20 October 1903, p. 6).
