Reply to comment by AmarakSpider in Researchers in Vietnam Discovered That Two Deer Antlers Languishing in Museum Storage Are Actually 2,000-Year-Old Musical Instruments by NotTRYINGtobeLame

Most museums have thousands or even hundreds of thousands of artifacts and only a handful of people looking after them and researching them. Unless someone get intrigued by one particular object it could sit unstudied for decades or centuries.
