The group that owns the only copy of Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin says it will lend it to a museum in Tasmania, where excerpts will play in June.

Very few people have heard the only copy of Once Upon a Time in Shaolin, the Wu-Tang Clan album that disgraced pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli bought at auction in 2015. Starting next month, though, you’ll be able to hear a curated, 30-minute excerpt of the album, provided you can get to the Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, Tasmania, between June 15th and June 24th, reports The Washington Post.

Despite fans’ attempts to raise millions of dollars to buy it, it ended up in the clutches of Shkreli, who is most famous for extortionist pricing of life-saving medication. Wu-Tang member RZA mused about stealing the album back, and the FBI denied rumors that it had confiscated it. Before he was convicted for securities fraud, Shkreli listed the album on eBay but never seemed to have sold it, as the federal government took possession of it in 2018 before selling it to PleasrDAO.
