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:

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!
Dan
