Art Collateral Loan VS Selling Pieces

Hello all. My wife and I recently inherited a collection of over 500 vintage Puerto Rican prints. These prints range from 1950s - 1990s with an estimated value of ~$100,000. We were suggested to just cash them all in but they are historically important to Puerto Rico and imo look really good. Im wondering if whether it makes sense to get a loan against them, therefore getting cash upfront and still keeping the collection, or to sell off some of these for extra cash? If anyone has any experience with Art loans id be happy to hear it.
