[Avodah] Whose Bells?

[Rich, Joel]

"The dispute started after leaders at Touro agreed to sell the bells, called rimonim, for $7.4 million to the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.....................
Congregation Shearith Israel opposes the sale of the bells, saying it violates religious practice and will remove ownership of the bells from the Jewish community. "


Interesting- are tashmishei Kodesh forbidden to be sold? Is there a presumption that the original donors donated them al tnai they not be sold....?
