A webpage would organize everything...having everything listed with info and threads from this forum linked to the webpage for further detail and research.

Dimasalang, I'm actually presently fooling around with such a concept.

Please see this blog I've just started, Filhistory.com.

It's nowhere anywhere near what you've described. But I'm trying to get there.

For starters, I've posted all the Macao exhibit pieces, then I followed it up with the Krieger plates. Currently, I'm posting some of the pieces I've collected.

My next step is to post also the pieces sold by Artzi and Erik (Farrow). A million thanks by the way to Artzi and to Erik (don't know if Erik is here), for granting me permission to use their pics in my website.

My only problem is time! Work gets in the way you see Like for the whole month of November I was not able to post anything (and December may end up the same).

Anyway, if you (or the others) can put up a similar or better website, then the more the merrier ...

PS - I respect a lot intellectual property rights. Thus on a best efforts basis, I always indicate if available the source of the photos I post in that blog

Developing a virtual museum is a fantastic idea.

So, is having a physical museum... depending on the museum's objectives or purpose.

What do you think should be the primary objectives? From there, it becomes easier to make rational choices.
