Are you ready to Sizzle, Summer Readers?

There are museums showcasing just about anything (or anyone) you can think of. If you were designing a museum, what would you put in it? Look in the St. Petersburg Times for current exhibits at local museums. Flip through the pages of the Times and study the advertisements. What do people value in our culture? Today's bobble head doll might be a valuable relic in the next century! What would you collect and put in a museum? Share your museum ideas with other students across Tampa Bay by clicking on COMMENT and describing your dream collection.
