Glendale's Neon Museum Gets Reprieve

Glendale's Neon Museum Gets Reprieve

Shimoda Design Group’s Museum of Neon Art, whose future had been placed in Jeopardy with the closing of California’s redevelopment agencies, has been saved, says the Glendale News-Press.  Last week an oversight board composed of various Glendale officials voted to leave the museum’s contract in place. The two-story, 7,300 square foot building with an adjacent 5,000 square foot plaza is anticipated to become the southern anchor for Glendale’s emerging arts and entertainment district. It will contain, among many other items, the Virginia Court Motel Diver, a large, bright red and white marquee dating from the 1940’s that will be placed on the museum’s roof; and a 20-foot-tall Clayton Plumbers Sign, with its giant neon faucet and neon blue drips, which will be located in the open air plaza.
