G'Day,
I look after a motorcycle museum in Canberra. Australia. Due to
financial considerations the owners of the museum are going to shift it
out of Canberra.
What worries me most that they believe that it does not matter where
they shift it to, people will still come to visit us. We have the
largest collection of motorcycles open to the public in Australia, with
some very unusual machines on display(over 230 machines in all). We
currently average about 20 visitors a day. The idea is to shift it to a
larger property and ofer accomadation, picnic, and camping facilities as
well as a new purpose built building.
My problem is how do I convince them that it is important to position
the museum, either in a tourist area, or at least expose it to passing
traffic, on a major highway. Does anyone have any horror stories, of
this attitude causing the downfall of a good museum or similar. Any
input will be most gratefully accepted.
Thanks
