Museums Rocking in Partnership

Museums have been encouraged to work in partnership lately. Perhaps the news that 70s US rockers Cheap Trick have decided to open a museum/restaurant combo in Chicago is the way forward. See:

Cloudy logic has the Museum of Unreason exploring its accessioned collection of vinyl rock in the store (cardboard box in the attic) and has come up with the future for bands that no longer attract the younger listener and therefore ripe for museumifying in partnership with appropriate organisations.

Those of you of a certain age will now be itching to get on to iTunes to relive those days when you had hair, energy and an unforgivable fashion sense

• AC/DC & AGL (Australia's leading integrated renewable energy company) to create the Powerage Museum
• Can & the Wehrmachtskanister company (the Jerry Can to you and me) to open the Flow Motion Museum
• Deep Purple and the Meteorological Office will predict the Stormbringer Museum
• Black Sabbath and MIND are bound to open the Paranoid Museum
• KISS and BAE Systems must open the Love Gun Museum
• Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Received Pronunciation Society may open the Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd Museum
• The Clash & O2 will have London Calling museum very soon
• Bad Company and any banking organisation can reproduce the Bad Company Museum any time they like

For those of you under 40 this will be meaningless to you (just like museums) - just remember in 30 years time you will be blogging about JLS's partnership with the new space mission to Mars to create the Outta This World exhibition. Thus the Museum of Unreason proves itself to be ahead of its time yet again.
