Curator: Our museum displays only twentieth-century works, which are either on loan from private collectors or in the museum's permanent collection. ██████ ██ ███ ██ ███ ██████ █████ ███ █████████ ██ ███ ██████ ██████ ███ ██████ █████ ████ █████ ██████ ██ ████ █████ ████ ███ ███ ████ ██ ███ ████████ █████████ ███████████ ████ ██ ████████ ███████████

Summary

If it’s on display, it’s a 20th century work.

If it’s a 20th century work on display, it’s on loan OR in the permanent collection.

If it’s in the permanent collection, prints of it are available in the store.

Some works that aren’t part of the permanent collection are in the store, such as Nighthawks.

Notable Valid Inferences

No particular inference stands out, aside from recognizing the connections between conditionals. If something’s on display, then it must be on loan OR permanent. If it’s permanent, prints of it are available in the store.

Could be false. We don’t know about everything available in the store. We know that anything in permanent collection is available in the store. That doesn’t tell us that everything available in the store is on loan or in the permanent collection.
