Michael Jackson museum plans announced in Gary, IN

The town of Gary, Indiana will be building a $300 Million museum dedicated to Michael Jackson.  It will include a hotel, housing, gold course, performing arts center and a elevated shuttle. Wow, what a tourist attraction!  They haven’t even taken this up with the Jackson estate.  Do you think that’s wrong of them? via Gary Post-Tribune - LADY

“The estate of Michael Jackson was never consulted about, nor is it involved in, the Jackson Family museum being proposed in Gary, Indiana,” Weitzman said in a written statement. “Michael Jackson’s music, name, likeness, memorabilia and other intellectual property are assets exclusively owned by the estate for the benefit of his children, his mother during her lifetime and charities as specified in his will. These properties cannot be exploited legally without written authorization from the estate. … The estate is considering a world-class museum that would include memorabilia, music and other intellectual properties at a site yet to be determined. The estate has no connection to this project.”
