I really enjoyed some of the images in the "Space Geek If" thread of displayed collections. Mine seems to stay stored in boxes and binders and I admire the great looking presentations some of you have put together. Any other links to or pictures of your own "home museums"?

And to refresh your memory, you asked nearly the same question in 2003: Home Museums

Hey there, Rob. Long time. Hope all is well. Thanks (Rob & Art) for the links. My collection is such a mess, its more of a storage operation than a display. I guess asking the same question once every four years isn't TOO abusive!

Jeeze, Scott!!! Is all that hardware on your site yours? Man! You should start your own space program. I am humbled!

I am impressed; perhaps one day I can visit? Can you provide some details on the provenance of the hardware?

Russ,
I still (no pun) remember visiting your museum even though it's been 4 or 5 years ago. You have a fantastic space wing and as I recall a lot of aviation art and stuff all through your house. Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff guys, I love your displays.

Russ, one question if I may, why do you have multiple copies of certain books on your shelves ?

Cheers....Adam

Hey Gilbert. I was hunting for your thread about the disply in Carrollton. You have some images from that you could post? I'd really love to see what you guys have done.

And Adam, multiple copies of books - the ones on the right (steel shelf) are all signed. On the left, I guess I just occasionally get the opportunity to pick up a spare. In reality, I'm an unadmitted compulsive horder.
