I would like to see the Canadian museum of technology. I know there is once in Ottawa, but seems like the region would be a perfect fit a museum on computer technology. I would love a museum of design too. I'm not too picky  Big Grin

I've always thought that the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa should be the Museum of Science, Technology, and Design, but I'm not sure Canadians are ready for an "STD Museum", hence my suggestion.  Wink

Actually, it has been in my mind since the summer, when the Design Exchange announced that it was closing it's permanent collection, with most of the items going to the ROM or to the Canadian Museum of History.  I found myself wishing that the Region could have snagged it, as the basis of a new national museum.  Sadly, my magic development wand was out of commission so I couldn't make it happen ....
