About the Te Awamutu Space Museum
This project is a privately-funded exercise by myself, Dave Owen. It has been a daydream of mine for many years. At the moment it's still not much more than a daydream except it has its own domain name. I'm going to use this website (and blog) to document my efforts and help pay for things I'll need in the museum.
The State of the Project
I've only recently started progressing this project. I have a very small collection of items on display in my office that I'm using for testing and market research. I also have a wish-list of things I need, so feel free to buy me a present :)
