Museum of Confederacy ponders move

Nothing much seems to have been written on this outside of Richmond, but the Museum of the Confederacy is considering a move to a new location and pondering whether or not to take its historic structures with it, raising issues about location and historic meaning.

Over time, it has seen attendance decline as the medical campus around it expands. This new article even hints that in addition to moving, there is talk of disneyfication as a solution to its attendance problems:

And the Museum of the Confederacy leadership itself seems to be terribly off-track in thinking that this internationally significant landmark can be carted off to another location and given historic theme-park treatment.

I hope this becomes the editorial line in all the local papers. As we have seen with the Lincoln Museum, trustees need close watching.
