Museums: To get an idea of where we are headed with regard to our museum
aspect look at these institutions. One big difference is that we will be using
our community to restore, use and demonstrate our exhibits. Most of these

Internet: Online searches for Creative Economy, Richard Florida, Creative

posed all over the world. Many of these also present the more complex gov-
ernmental strategies for building a creative economy. They include
investments in Education and cultural infrastructure as well as carefully craft-
ed tax incentives.
