The Canadian Museum of History Rush Collection! MUST SEE!

[Torgo]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but if you haven't been to the Canadian Museum of History's website and seen their Rush collection, you have to check it out! Rush donated a bunch of gear to them and they have amazing pics of all of it on their website:

Go to the "Learn" section at the bottom of the home page, click the Collections link, and enter "Rush", or "Rush Guitars", "Rush Drums", etc and feast your eyes. Alex's black Strat (the "Pork Flapsocaster"---oh, Lerxst), the "Xanadu" doublenecks, Neil's "Counterparts" kit, Geddy's Minimoog and OBXa, all kinds of stuff. Here's a sample:

Thanks for posting.

 

I've seen some of this before. I'd love to get up there one day.

 

It think it's great that it's where it is and NOT at the "Rock" Hall in Cleveland.

Do you know- is it an exhibition for a certain amount of time, or is it part of their permanent collection? It would be really interesting to see, but better driving in the summer! :D
