How Do You Feel About a Bruce Lee Action Museum?

Posted by on Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 1:50 PM

While nobody was looking yesterday, King 5 ran a story about a potential new museum in Seattle: a Bruce Lee Museum:

The Seattle City Council has put a proposal on the table to examine city support for a new museum in honor of martial arts legend Bruce Lee...According to the proposal, the Lee Family Foundation has developed a museum concept, known as the Bruce Lee Action Musuem[sic], which would preferably be built in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District.

You've gotta admit, that's a cool name. It's a long way off if it even happens, of course, but we should probably decide whether this should even be discussed at all via the most reliable opinion-gathering software of our time—a Slog poll:

It would also be nice to have an Action Library and perhaps an Action Arboretum.

Totally get behind this with a joint cover to some other museum. Wing Luke probably needs the exposure.

I think it's silly, but it doesn't bother me. The more the merrier.

@4, the Wing Luke also needs some more MUSEUM. By far the best part of the place (the tour of the old hotel upstairs and shop) is a separate admission and barely gets any exposure, while the rest of the place seems to have been designed solely with fundraising cocktail parties in mind.

Could we just bring Bruce back from the dead to conduct a Jeet Kune Do seminar inside the new Chihuly museum?
