Museum

The museum was established in October 2002 by Jeff and Susan Lane, beginning with his personal collection of 70 vehicles in Nashville's former American Bread Company (1951-1994). The collection currently includes art, memorabilia and over 500 vehicles,[2] with 150 cars displayed on any given day. The museum features European cars of unusual design, propeller-driven vehicles, microcars, three-wheeled cars, amphibious vehicles, alternative fuel vehicles, military vehicles, competition cars, one-off vehicles, prototypes — and 23 Tatras.[3]

Since 2010 the museum has hosted an annual fundraiser where donors can drive a museum car on a nearby rural route.[4][5]

gollark: ?
gollark: So I guess you would have to either allow people to patent only new-for-CC things and ignore most existing implementations, or basically not allow patenting anything. Although I think patents (and half the legal system) as they stand aren't a great system and probably should not be copied into games?
gollark: At least, they mostly do somewhat new-for-CC things (except OSes) but not things which haven't been done before in another context.
gollark: Because most CC things are not, some offense in general to people maybe but not really, novel enough to be patentable, because of "prior art".
gollark: So how does it work, you can arbitrarily patent things then sue people?
