David AtkatzAlright, I'll accept that a museum does not have to be open to the public.
But in that case, I stand by what I said previously. I don't want to sound like a pompous ass, but I have a very serious and well-researched collection of vintage Yankee memorabilia. Just as in any museum, some is on display, but most is in archival storage (a safe deposit box.) My collection is used for scholarly research, education, and entertainment.
SO... I guess I've got a museum.
BTW, what's the point of his collection being "set up like a museum... small ropes to stay behind... large lettering subject cards by each display..." if it's not open to the public?
Kinda like the Doomsday machine in Dr. Stranglove. The point is lost if you keep it a secret.
