http://www.brickmuseum.net and soon http://www.plasticbrickmuseum.net/ / .com

During the past few months we have been getting advice from people on any problems we have been facing in the tourism market!

One of the main problems we faced was the name change game. Due to legal reasons that has been all over the place! We are now 100% secure, and approved for;

Toy and Plastic Brick Museum

In 2009 we will have a fluid campaign to advertise this.Our business model includes you, the MOC builder;We plan to have the following happen in 2009;

Continue to build the PBM Collection
Continue to feature LEGO builders in the museum
Continue to grow

New to 2010;

We are planning to open the new Dex lab
We are planning to open the new Lion's Den
We are planning to open the new Canadian room!
We are continuing to improve the museum and add to the "Toy and" portion weekly as well.

New to 2009;

We are planning a mass build of sets.
We are hoping to have one of each of the sets from 1970-date in house by 2010.
This means sorting, planning, building,and a bunch of effort from the community and staff to make this happen.
We are going to be working on the building during the winter and getting it more"green friendly". A 100yr old school is not very heat/cooling friendly!!!
We plan to complete the "Water Room" as well as the "Creators Lab".
These will be 2 new theme rooms coming to the museum as well.

We are now looking for a grant writer!!!
So if that is you please contact us.
We are now looking for a IPO business planner for future offerings for the for profit side of the business.
Again if that is you please contact us
