Permanent Museum?
What are your thoughts on a permanent TT Museum, or perhaps one with a wider remit, bearing in mind the Enduros,trials etc that the Isle of Man competirors excel in?
The current "Staying the Course" exhibition has just been extended to November, and I know it will not be possible to make that permanent as the space is needed for other things, and some of the exhibits were specially loaned for the centenary.
However, given the wonderful Museums we have here, highlighting the Vikings, Tynwald and all the other cultural icons of the Island.. it seems odd that motorcycling gets only a wee sideshow most of the time.
The Bungalow building is too out of the way, and I think has probably reached its falldown by date. So, what are your thoughts, suggestions? How would it be funded, where should it be? (part of the regeneration of Ramsey?)What should be in it? It could be planned now and open for the Centenary of the Mountain Course in 2011?
Just a few thoughts... what do YOU think?
