Default Re: Museums

Stuart R, I have unfortunately only factored in enough time to visit the computer museums I mentioned in #70, which is a shame as the other ones you've flagged up (and which will remain to be found in this sticky thread) sound very interesting. Another occasion, perhaps.

Actually part of that scene I pictured - low profile Danish-inspired teak furniture - really started in the 1960s, although it may have remained popular into the 1970s. Certainly a lot of the 'old' transistorised radiograms I worked on in my first job in the early 1980s mirrored that furniture style.

If Beamish really did start up a 1970s area / era they would find themselves in the strange position of having to put themselves in their own museum, since (I believe) Beamish opened to the public in that decade.
