2008 UPDATE
Hello! Friends and Supporters. Thanks
for your patience in the opening
of our miniature museum. We are still going to make it happen.
Our
previous location fell to urban renewal as with many parts
of Hampton
Roads. However, we have found an even better location. It
is directly
across from the VA Children’s Museum , in Portsmouth
and is surround-
ed by two other museums. The location, parking, and highway
access are great. We have applied for the IRS 501(c)(3) status
and should receive a reply in January or February of 2008.
Our new goal is Winter 2009.
| We have also been busy
with new acquisitions. We have acquired the British Parliament
building, the Sydney Opera House, prehistoric nature scenes,
Miami Vice scenes, a Mario Andretti display, a Lewis Hamilton
display and many, many more pieces. This museum is going
to be big! |
We did a regional exhibit last March
2007 at the Christopher Newport
University in Newport News, VA, and the response was an outstanding
98% positive. This gave us lots of incentive to move forward.
WHAT & WHERE
Welcome to the Genex Showcase Miniature Museum in Hampton
Roads, Virginia. Located in the heart of the East Coast Mid-Atlantic
region, it offers easy access from any area in the country.
The Museum will help you relive the history of bygone years,
introduce you to things you
never knew existed, and let you reminisce with some of the
famous TV
characters you grew up around.
We have put forth great efforts to provide you with an extensive
selection of many of the great works and events of artists
from all corners of this earth. As you go through this Museum
you will be delighted and thrilled with its contents and professional
exhibits.
LOGISTICS
The Museum exhibits are divided into eleven (11) display categories:
The Environment, Structural Facilities, Monuments, Transportation,
Sports, Peoples, The Arts, Space, Worth, Children Gallery
and Innovations. We have included information on Hampton Roads
for those who are not familiar with this area of the country.
Total categories will contain over 100 exhibits with five
to twenty five individual displays each.
WE HOPE YOU’LL SUPPORT US ALL THE WAY! |
