they were previously behind mint lifestyle and a rare world

can TAs comment on area Destination Management Companies?
(what ABG is referring to)

in this case there is a subset of that/guides/etc - art specialists, including buyers
(so guides, specialist travel agents and then art world)
and in this case and others - does museum/etc have partners/donors/alliances?

from latest 'best agent' coverage (i wonder if prior years ever included art specialists) >

When you need VIP access to a cultural treasure or an over-the-top experience—and are willing to pay dearly for it—Paris-based Preston has the key. He can get you behind the scenes at museums, private art collections, and fashion houses including Chanel, Dior, and Hermès; into private clubs and the Cartier and Van Cleef vaults; or cooking in a private château with a three-Michelin-star chef

Paris in October 2008...two fashion shows...My favorite thing was a three-hour perfume workshop held at the Thierry Mugler boutique where, thanks to Bob knowing everyone, we were able to sneak preview the upcoming collection...atelier at Van Cleef & Arpels and even got to meet some of the jewelers and see pieces under construction
