I don't, know : I didn't saw that exhibition...
It may be the same one and the cels may or may
not be for sale...

I am just saying that there may be other dealers
with cels from that anime for sale : There was/is
some around for sale in Japan.

From what I heard, yes, Anime Link got some cels
from farious people in Japan. I dunno if they are
for sale : Why not ask him ? He can certainly
answer better than me :)

Sometime none... except that there is more space
to look at the cels and they are better displayed 
:)

Most art-gallery exhibit artworks that are for
sale.

Take for example the various hanken cels 
exhibition from AIC : they are in art-galleries.
And all the cels are for sale.... if you can
afford them. (ok, that's a big "if" :(
