Yeah, but it sounds so much better than "a bunch of junk in my basement".
Note to everyone: call things what they are! Making a
web site about your own stuff isn't a freaking museum. Geez.
Speaking as someone with one of those online museum pages, I'll say
I can call my web page any damn thing I want, and if you don't like it,
get a life and hit the back button. :-)
I'd say the biggest risk of making a web page and calling it a "museum"
is that people can figure out where you are, and they'll show up
in person, unannounced, expecting a free guided tour.
No offense taken, actually.
