Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and other states have all invested in dedicated brick-and-mortar museums. Georgia invested millions in its Macon-based Music Hall of Fame, but the concept proved unsustainable and didn’t last. Virginia must learn and benefit from that experience.
Any museum must be extremely cautious about its overhead and budget. The world of the nonprofit is rough and has many obstacles.
Richmond, being centrally located and on Interstate 95, is an ideal location for a Virginia Music Hall of Fame.
