We have a fellow in my area, Windsor Ontario,
who has been trying to
start a science museum for years. You might consider broadening your area of
interest to get more public support.
Has he been actively trying to get one started, and if so, what has been
the major problem? One thing that has been suggested by a couple people
I have talked to is to have displays that include technology developed
by local companies. My feeling so far is that the funding sources will
have a large impact on what is covered. I saw an interesting web site a
couple of days ago, http://www.mysticseaport.org, that has what appears
to be a somewhat self supporting museum going, i.e. no state or federal
monies involved. I find THAT to be most admirable!!!
