if you were given $5mil to open a small museum, what kind of museum would you open?

[Cailey]

I would probably open a mythical creature museum of sorts?

and would display and replicate all mythical creatures that have ever been mentioned as well as include their backgrounds, etc. I think it would be super cute/fun.

what about you all?

 

[MapleSilver]

A museum about the history of embezzlement, but it only costs about $1000 dollars.

If that doesn't work, then I guess I'll open a clock museum.

 

[Snowesque]

Maybe a crystal or an old book museum.

 

[Midoriya]

A museum filled with space-related things.

 

[King Dorado]

a video game museum, of course.

with an arcade of working retro game machines

 

[RedTropicalPeachyFish]

I don't think I could make exhibition of what I'd love it to be for just with $500mil.

 

[Antonio]

I would open a museum that is like 1 million and use the rest of the funds on myself.

 

[LadyDestani]

Maybe a crystal or an old book museum.

I was also thinking I would probably love a museum of old books.

If not books, then probably the history of dolls throughout the ages since they are my favorite things to collect.

 

[carackobama]

I've love to open a museum about animation as I'm a massive nerd for animated films, shows and obviously games too! There could be character models and concept art and films playing AAAHHH I need this in my life ;-; why am I not rich

 

[dizzy bone]

museum of hand painted barber shop signs around the world. or a museum of terrible bootleg toys.

 

[Sinmenon]

I have been to many cool museums irl. I have been to the comic book museum in London, the museum of the Spanish language in Madrid and the Portuguese language in Sao Paulo (before it burned down) and a few others. I want to visit the Namco museum and the Peanuts museum in Japan someday, but I need to travel there to begin with.

Maybe I'd make a thematic museum, like the museum of anime and manga, or a fairy tale museum (I wrote on the subject, it is fascinating). A museum of aquatic animals and exploration could be interesting, mankind knows more about our solar system than the bottom of our own oceans.

 

[moonbyu]

a jewelry museum

 

[Croconaw]

I would make it a hockey museum.

 

[demoness]

morbid affects like old mortuary tools and items that are allegedly haunted or evil or just i don't know, i saw pickled organs in a shop once, think it was preserved lungs?

 

[Chris]

Marine and/or arctic biology.

morbid affects like old mortuary tools and items that are allegedly haunted or evil or just i don't know, i saw pickled organs in a shop once, think it was preserved lungs?

At the Natural History Museum in Berlin there is a massive room (called the Wet Collection IIRC) dedicated to preserved specimens. It's fascinating. There's something like 275,000 odd jars in there.

 

[satine]

a cold war museum. there's none of those, at least where i live, and it's sad that that era of conflict is disregarded for the others.

 

[Bcat]

I'd buy a historical home and restore it.

 

[KnoxUK]

What about a museum containing history about museums, while being contained in a bigger museum about different museums.

 

[ali.di.magix]

A crystal, rock and gemstone museum! Can you imagine all the massive geodes I could buy for 5 mill...it would be beautiful. I would have information posters everywhere about their history, chemical composition, meaning and source. Although I'd probably get more enjoyment out of it than anyone else lol.

 

[Dim]

A museum containing portraits of Patrick.
