| Three
Stages: Status Report
This is an overall description of the three mile posts in the
promotion of a museum of money and financial institutions. The eventual
goal is the construction of a major museum to be located in Lower
Manhattan. The ideal location for a museum associated with economic
life would be the trading floor of the historically designated New
York Stock Exchange after the exchange moves.
A major museum is an expensive item. In terms of the economic resources
required $2-300,000,000 in cash and/or kind is required. Before
such a commitment of resources is called for there are two far more
modest stages, each of which yields a product, in and of itself,
and provides both much of the organizational structure required
for the museum and much of the "market and feasibility"
testing required. |
