My Museum- blog 2 for the Musem Paper

I'm going to propose a museum of drug history in America, focusing on the 20th century. It will be located in San Francisco because drugs were an integral part of the hippy movement in the 1960's which largely took place in San Francisco and other parts of Northern California. It will serve to inform people of how drug use came about and how it was viewed throughout history, giving them a more complete perspective on drug use today. This is also important in the political arena, where marijuana legalization is an important topic right now. The goal of the drug history museum is to publicize the history fof drug use and spark an interest in the political debate. It will be planned out chronologically, focusing on 6 or 7 of the major eras in which drug used was a factor. I'll start from 1900-1920, then move to 1920-1950 which will include prohibition and its consequences, then 1950-1960, 1960-1970 which will primarily focus on the hippy movement, 1970-1980 which will probably focus on drugs in rock and roll, and 1980-present. Perhaps I will have a room dedicated to each of these eras, each with a different ambiance.
