Braggarts and others,

Ok, so we've got lots of museums nice and centrally located for everyone's
benefit, so what?

Do you mean to tell me that none of those museums overlap in purpose?  Do
niche museums interfere with general purpose museums or vice versa?  Is the
Rock and Roll museum/hall of fame really useful if the subject is taken out
of context with what was/is going on concurrently with the music?

Will we eventually break down into a niche market? For example: The
Northeast Hat museum, the Seattle museum of Rain Gear, etc. 

So NYC, London and others have a cabinet load of curiosities, are the
stories being effectively told spread out as they are, or is there a message
being lost to the masses?  

Just something to ruminate on.  Have a nice day,

Christopher Reeves
