Philippines Ethnographic Weapons Museum

I am sure that this idea of putting up a dedicated museum is not new. However, it has remains a dream up to now.

Whether or not the discussion on this topic, will bear immediate fruit is not very important at this point, in my opinion. The fact that we are able to document this discussion in this Forum - for others to read - is already a step forward. Readers will be able to gain information and insights from this discussion, from where to possibly develop a feasibility study, and push the idea another step forward.

I think that long-term sustainability of the museum is the main issue, and not so much the technical aspects (e.g. museum management, collections management, etc.). These technical matters can be adequately addressed if the museum is able to generate sufficient internally generated revenues as a private organization (i.e. not government owned or controlled).
