Introducing the Museumcroft.com Thinking Cap™

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 are of outstanding quality, made from 100% cotton with adjustable strap and brass buckle in back–one size fits most. Available in 12 colors shown 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™ presents Poster Gallery display at Brownfields 2008

Museumcroft™ was invited to present a Poster Gallery display for the prestigious Brownfields 2008 conference held at the Cobo Center in Detroit, Michigan, May 5-7, 2008. The theme of the display "The Brownfield Museum?" posed the question of how we transform challenging brownfield sites into quality of life assets. Several cutting edge public interpretation methods were explored for reinventing, recycling, and retelling local brownfield stories as public centerpieces. What happens when a brownfield meets a museum? We showed Detroit the answer to that question at Brownfields 2008!
