Fundraising For Blues Museum Nearly Complete

KMOX Radio reports that all but $150,000 of the $13 million needed to begin construction has been raised.

The museum will be located in part of the old Dillard’s department store building at Sixth and Washington, a block from the city’s convention center.

Developer Amos Harris says the idea is to create a highly entertaining experience that also provides education about the blues.

Construction could start in September.
