Yes, now you too can come up
with amazing and creative ideas without taking any expensive classes or
learning any new skills. Simply purchase and put on your Museumcroft.com
Thinking Cap™ and you will immediately begin to possess powerful new
creative abilities*(see disclaimer below). This is no ordinary company logo
hat. It has been unscientifically proven that people who put on their
Thinking Caps™ experience significantly faster firing of neurons in the
frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, boosted blood-oxygen levels
supplied to the cranium, and a marked improvement in ability to see the
hidden images in optical illusion posters and score higher on Rorschach
inkblot tests. These bogus results shouldn’t surprise us. Think about it
for a moment. A cap with a lightbulb on it almost
guarantees a positive effect on brain activity, but wait there’s more!!!
When the lights go out, your
Museumcroft.com Thinking Cap™ cranks up the power and the light bulb logo
actually illuminates, turning “ON” in the dark. Museumcroft
lightbulb power works 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week with no breaks for holidays or leap years. Now there’s absolutely no
excuse for failing to show that creative side of your personality that you
know has always been hidden inside. Museumcroft.com Thinking Caps™ make
great gifts for college students pulling an all-nighter, new parents
needing a boost of mental energy for 2am feedings, or anyone wanting to
become a world-class artist. Tap into the power of the lightbulb.
Price per cap: $15.00 plus
shipping, discounts available for purchases of 3 hats or more. To order
call the main office at 574-265-3664 or e-mail us at info@museumcroft.com
These washed polo-style caps

above: FRONT ROW - navy, stone, olive and rust; MIDDLE ROW - sky
blue-violet, maroon, mustard and chocolate; BACK ROW - forest teal, pink,
indigo and aquamarine.
*DISCLAIMER - The above claims
about the Museumcroft.com Thinking Cap™ pertaining to increased mental
production are categorically false, but the lightbulb
logo really does turn ON in the dark, the caps are indeed very cool, and
your purchase will help support small museums everywhere, so stop nitpicking
and order today.
Museumcroft News
Museumcroft™ produces new "Different by Design" Exhibit for Edsel & Eleanor Ford House Museum
Museumcroft™
designed, fabricated and installed the new "Different by Design"
exhibit housed in the original garage structure at the Edsel
& Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan. The exhibit,
opening on June 13, 2009, explores Edsel Ford's
influence upon modern twentieth century design as seen thru automobiles,
his home, and landscape. “This is an important exhibit for Edsel and Eleanor Ford House,” said Kathleen Mullins,
president of Ford House. “It brings to life a lesser known part of the Ford
legacy by highlighting Edsel Ford’s eye for style
and design.”

Pastport™ featured in OpenAirExhibits.com
The Pastport™
Outdoor Exhibit by Museumcroft™ was featured in
the February 2006 issue of OpenAirExhibits.com, an on-line subscription
newsletter focused on the development of outdoor interpretation. The
article prominently features the latest installation of Pastports™
at the College Park Aviation Museum in College Park Maryland. Here's an
excerpt from the article:
"This is one
of the easiest projects to sell for fund raising," according to Cathy
Allen, director of the College Park Aviation Museum, where Pastports were installed this month. "Pastports are a clever way to bring the past to the
present that requires no volunteer or staff support to provide
interpretation. The units can be placed in busy or remote areas - it
doesn't matter - either way, you have instant interpretation, and your
visitors don't even have to read or understand English to get it. The
granting board liked everything about Pastports,
especially that they provided nearly living history without requiring the
bodies and marketing required to support an actual event. I also approached
a citizens' group for $500 to add to the $2,500 request to the Historical
Trust to demonstrate community support. It was the easiest money I have
ever raised," Allen said.
