Madame Tussaud to Open Assessment Professional Wax Museum in Iowa City
It appears that the long overdue plans for a wax museum honoring distinguished individuals in the measurement profession is coming to fruition. While not all of the exhibits have been determined, we have been able to discover plans for a few of the key exhibits.
The Madame Tussaud group faced several key challenges. Most importantly, most of what Measurement people do is inherently boring and does not lend itself well to visual display. Therefore they have taken some license with the facts surrounding the lives of several key figures in the industry.
The first display will feature a detailed wax replica of Robert Thorndike in a cave man outfit discovering the secret of fire.
As the visitor moves forward in the exhibit, he or she will encounter Frederick Lord and Melvin Novick appearing as mad scientists with an audio backing track screaming IRT tidbits followed by Ghoulish laughs.
Other exhibits slated for the museum include Ron Berk in Saturday NIght Fever garb in a discotheque, Wayne Camarra as an Olympic ski racer and Hari Hari Swaminathan as a Coke dealer in the inner city.
The closing exhibit calls for more than 100 figures modeled on Measured Progress Staff singing a measurement inspired version of "It's a small, small world....It's a small world after all".
