Ingmar's last wish

I remember one summer some years ago when me and some friends took a daytrip to the island of Fårö, just north of Gotland where I'm from, with the sole pupose of finding Ingmar Bergman's house. This was the same year me and my friend Anna took a summer course at the university of Gotland on Ingmar Bergman and his movies. We drove all around the island on teeny tiny roads in the woods, hoping to find the right one. We didn't. I'm kind of happy that we didn't. He was a very private person and the locals did everything to protect his privacy. In fact, if you asked them for the direction to Bergman's house they'd look at you and say "Bergman... who??"
When Ingmar died in 2007 suddenly everyone knew where his house was since a big debate started around what should happen to the house and aeroplane photos and maps were pulished in every newspaper. Should it be made into a museum? Should it be sold?
The house is now for sale (I've heard that Ang Lee, Woody Allen and Wes Anderson all were interested!) and so are all the the personal property that belonged to Bergman. All the furniture and other stuff will be auctioned out in september by Bukowski's.
Sad. Or maybe not. It was a decision his family made and according to his last will. He was very determined about it:
“This is my wish and no discussion or emotional tumult must come as a result.”
I went looking though some of the pictures on Bukowski's website and these are some of the things he left behind that are now for sale:
I was totally fascinated by the little bedsidetable/nightstand with notes. Imagen Ingmar having trouble sleeping and coming up with the idea for a new masterpiece! And maybe a huge fan will have a dream come true, watching TV in Ingmars Eames chair. Who knows.
