Re: [TCML] Tesla Museum in Colorado Springs?

[Brandon Garretson <garretsontech@xxxxxxxxx>]

According to an article I found its been closed for over 10 years.

"McKee's classroom is the last place in Colorado Springs dedicated to
Tesla-inspired gadgets and experiments, after the bankruptcy-induced
closure of the Tesla Museum of Science and Industry in 1999. The
artifacts from the museum are missing, much to the chagrin of the
museum's creditors. "

Complete article here

Unless somebody started it up again but I cant find any new information on it.
It also looks like whoever did run the place either stole or sold the
artifacts, so I wouldnt count on it.

Here is the last address and phone number I found.

Tesla Museum of Science
473 Lake Ave. Colorado Springs, Colorado
Colorado Springs, CO 80805
(719) 222-1911
