farrellj's Journal: Science Fiction Museum

Well, it used to be that the closest Science Fiction had to a museum was Forrest J. Ackerman's house. It was chock full of books, posters, models and other "stuff" pertaining to SF and Fantasy...but now, Paul Allen has taken part of his "Experience the Music" complex and turned it into a SF Museum. New York Times has an article here, the usual blahblahblah about registration.

In reading the article, I fear it may be mostly a media oriented museum...and I guess in today's culture it can't be helped...but I certainly hope that the place has a good selection of stuff from Books, and maybe, SF Fandom. Without Fandom, SF probably would have died a long time ago.

Slashdot has a story about this...
