If y'all thought he was making an actual museum to rival the one in D.C. that had a ton of backers and the government, then...
Museums don't make money, the programs the museum offers make money. So Tariq is operating as I'd expect a person with a museum to operate.
Some people are so stupid, it doesn't even make sense. A museum is a multi million dollar project. Even those small, ain't shyt museums you pass on the highway.. You have to hire staff to work all day, get the artifacts, maintain them, advertise, throw events, sell food/snacks/water, sell/make merch, etc etc etc. That's on top of real estate, codes, certification, insurance, etc...
$1 million in cash was supposed to get all this? The AA museum was $540 million.. The tractor museum down the street is probably worth at least 5.

Realistically, how many exhibits are we thinking are going to fit in this space and how much would they be worth? I really hate grifters cause they prey on stupidity.. But I REALLY hate stupidity.
