Oh, I think so, too. I don't recall the details but I remember thinking, when I first read about it, that the organizers of this museum were doing it as much out of a hope for monetary reward as for any great love of history.
Nothing wrong with that. I did reference the Spy Museum, last time I went there it was eleven bucks a head and worth every penny. The idea, of course, is to make money by appealing to paying customers... not by soaking up money from donors and grants, then declaring bankruptcy.
