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.

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.


The same reason the professional baseball and american football hall of fames are in out of the way spots?

(...) 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! (20 years ago, 25-Jan-05, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) It is only 1 mile from Rt. 70 between Columbus and Pittsburgh! Even Pres and Mrs Clinton came to our town in the last 2 weeks!!! We may be in the middle of nowhere, but nicely placed in the middle of nowhere! Dan (17 years ago, 27-Feb-08, to lugnet.loc.us.oh, lugnet.general, FTX)
