If a museum, any museum, can't raise the private funds necessary to get the project going, then that museum might not merit such an expensive site and building. That is, the interest from the public just might not be there. How many people will attend this museum? It's potential might be less that what the originators conceived. Considering these points, I do not support a taxpayer bailout of this project. Perhaps, as they were before in the Cultural Center, the operators of this museum might look into being tenants in a different building, i.e., a building owned and operated by someone else.

I always wondered what was going on (or not going on) at that intersection. Must have missed this announcement.

It's a real shame that in a city with such a rich and deep tradition of radio and TV we can't get a building built to house a museum. Then again, they did select a ridiculous site. Like the Children's museum, this would have been cheaper to build outside of downtown.

I hope this doesn't eventually turn out like the shiteous journalism museum in D.C. ugh.
