Mariah Carey's opening a $20million museum
|
Dolly Parton has Dollywood, a theme park dedicated to everything Dolly. Nashville has The Taylor Swift Education Centre, where you can learn literally all there is to know about Tay. And now, Heatworld can reveal that Mariah Carey wants to establish a museum in tribute to her own glittering 25-year career.
Insiders close to the singer tell heat that she thinks the world deserves a shrine to her many achievements. We're told it will include displays of "her concert outfits, platinum record collection, a recreation of her childhood home, award-show footage and vintage recordings playing on loop, baby photos, treasures from her home (including specially commissioned portraits), displays of her jewellery collection and home movies of her children". Crikey.
The friend adds, "She has warehouses full of Mariah memorabilia, and I think she'd really throw herself into the project."
And who's funding the entire museum? Er, that'd be Mariah's billionaire boyfriend James Packer. You know, the fourth-richest man in Australia. "He can't say no to his girlfriend, even though he thinks the idea is way out there, even for Mariah," says the insider. "She thinks the whole thing would cost around $20million to build a travelling museum, with the first stops being Las Vegas and her home town, New York."

If Dolly, Britney, and Taylor have museums why can't Mariah?

If true I actually think it would be cool. Mariah is such a huge contributor to music history, yet the general public is still unaware (for the most part) of her efforts. Especially behind the scenes. And maybe she'd decide to put Marilyn's piano there. She's talked of that for ages. Museums don't necessarily mean tacky. They can be tastefully done in honor of the artist and the fans. One of my favorite Latin American singers, Selena Quintanilla has one that was opened after her passing with all proceeds going to her foundation. Granted the circumstances are different, but it can be done in a classy way.

I mean I guess, when I think of museums I think of the past. Like she's dead and let us reflect.

This seems fake to me. One thing that really stands out is "a recreation of her childhood home". Mariah has said many times that they moved all around, so what home would this be? The whole article feels a bit drerogatory as well.
