I ran across this listing on eBay:
Lego museum. DISPLAY, Statue, and DONATIONS NEEDED
We are going to open a LEGO museum. We need TONS of blocks, displays, and any
other lego “stuff” we can come up with. Presenters gain a place in HISTORY. We
are selling space on a Plaque that will be put on the front of the building, as
well as smaller plaques that will be put in front of individual display items.
We are also purchasing LARGE amounts of special items for this project. Those
people will not be included in the plaques, but will be put in a buying bio at
the computer room (lego games a’ running). We will have a web sight in the NEAR
future, and we already have purchased the building (old school house, 36,000
sq.) so we have all the room in the world to do this.
Anyone know anything about this? I’d like to hear more if so.

Most curious ebay placement. The picture of the school building almost looks
like one of those old postcards (like from the 40s or 50s). Otherwise, I dunno.

My wife and I met Peter Barth, another IndyLUG member, at Dan Brown’s Toy and
Brick Museum in Bellaire, Ohio on Friday April 11 to see what it was all about.
Like this post’s title says, it was well worth the trip. I was so impressed that
I wanted to tell others about the museum. There is a lot of everything LEGO at
this old neighborhood school building located right smack dab in the middle of
Bellaire. It’s only 10 minutes from I-70 southwest of Wheeling, West Virginia.
Dan has accumulated a bunch of MOC’s from well known AFOL’s and LEGO Master
Builders. You’ll also get to see many one-of-a-kind models, vintage store
display’s, antique wooden LEGO toys, Roadshow cast-offs and AFOL layouts.
Take a look at these pictures, but they are only a fraction of what’s there:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=313328
Be sure to call or email ahead to let him know you are an AFOL and he’ll meet
you at the museum for a one on one behind the scenes tour. One of the best
parts is when he takes you behind the closed doors in a couple of the classrooms
where he has oodles of loose brick piled waist high. (You will drool all over
yourself, guaranteed.) He’ll also give you insight as to how he’s acquired his
collection and what he has in store for the museum’s future events.
If you like LEGO, you’ll love the Toy and Brick Museum.

Thanks, and we are getting bigger and better. I forgot to show you the room
downstairs, it will be AWSOME!!!
We will be building a sea serpent for the room, and it will allow the
kids/adults to bring in their bathing suits, and get soaked.
We are looking into a water cannon, and we bought some very cool water shooters
for the actual WET room, will be open in 2009!!!
Something to look forward to.
Thanks for the kind words, built the place for the AFOL community!!!
You will love it!

The bid is listed as being from Bellaire, Ohio which is way down south-east on
the border with West Virginia, across the river from Wheeling. An interesting
and very out-of-the-way place to put a museum.
I’d think that TLC would be interested in what these guys are trying to do. If
only to protect their trademark.

That’s what I was thinking also. Why would you put it in the middle of “no
where” (no offense to anyone that lives in that area) but you would want it in a
location that people would visit on a trip or something.
I also find it strange that they’d have a building of that size if they’re still
looking for items to fill the museum with. Most of the time you get the stuff
then find a building.

Good point, I wonder if they have talked to anyone at LEGO about this project.
I did email the person who put the listing on eBay to find out more.

Well, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is in Canton because one of the most
dominant football franchises of the early days was the Canton Bulldogs.
The baseball hall of fame has a slightly more
convoluted history. But
it has history.
What history does Bellaire, Ohio have with Lego?

Probably the fact that the owners/curators live in the area and found a building
on the cheap there.
I would imagine there’s a slightly smaller following for Lego than there is for
football, baseball, or basketball (HoF in Springfield, MA, where hoops was
invented, incidentally) - so those rules don’t apply.

That was my guess too. If it were Lego doing the organizing, they’d probably aim
for a larger “vacation area” spot (balanced with cheap real estate of course),
but considering how this looks more privately run, it’s probably what they could
find for cheap in a reasonable distance.

I have to admit I’m curious as to what crowd they hope to attract-- I expect
mostly kids and not AFOL’s. That is, I don’t expect they’re looking for antique
Lego sets, hordes of master-class MOC’s, etc., but more for
interactive-child-targeted displays.
36,000 square feet though? That’s pretty impressive. Does BLOC still have
regular meetings (I notice the website and NG look mildly inactive)? That may be
a great place for public displays! Or a good BLOC meeting space :)

I’m sorry, but are you implying that Lego was first made in Ohio, like the
baseball bat comes from Cooperstown, NY?
Maybe it is near Samsonite!

I asked the seller a question through ebay and received the following answer.

We are looking for anything Lego. If you have a collection you wish
to donate send it to:
Dan Brown
c/o Old First Ward School
1731 Belmont St.
Bellaire, OH 43906
if you have any ideas for the museum let me know. If you wish to be on the
mailing list/update list also let me know. The MOC page for the museum is
http://www.mocpages.com/home.php/1721.
If you want to send money I will not stop you, but I am all set on that side
so far. I am mostly looking for items/creations/unique items/displays/etc...
Anything Lego. If you have a item you want to keep, but donate for show send me
the size (dimensions) so I can build a display case for it. Then I will send
you a rental contract for the item, and a thing for what you want put on the
display case (plaque), then you will be added to the donations list for the
museum.

I have contacted them about a week ago, they said they’d get back to me, but no
contact since then. I’d love a place that I can reach in 2 hours, and where I
can park my Lego collection. If this turns out to be a legit museum, I’ll be
more than happy to fill a room (or 2, or...).
It kinda bugs me that I have a quarter+ of my basement stuffed with boxes full
of nice lego sets that never see the light of day. I’d be more than happyto loan
these out to a place where people can enjoy them, provided they have insurance
etc. Filling an old school with Lego has always been my plan for (early :) )
retirement, guess I’ll have to moove out of Ohio so there will not be that much
competition. Feel free to suggest places I (and my family, and my Lego) should
retire.

I too had the same dream but in a bit warmer climate. There used to be this old
church for sale on Amelia Island in Florida that I thought would be a great
location for a LEGO museum / shop. Of course I need to win the lottery or
something so that I can actually afford to retire early.

I stumbled upon this very cool museum a few weeks ago, while traveling for work.
They hadn’t yet opened for the season, but luckily my job brought me back to the
area a week later, and I was able to take a sprinting tour on my lunch break.
Tons of very cool displays spanning many decades, with an interesting evolution
of building styles and parts along the way.
Also, I’m happy to report, the site has a friendly attitude toward competitor
brick toys and actually has a number of official Mega sets on display.
I’ll definitely had back for a longer tour when I get the chance, but I was
delighted to find this place totally by accident!
