Maybe one of the PDB centers has room for it in the hall of their
expensive buildings where the data are stored?

PS: I am very curious to see with what kind of robot the PDB redo people
will come up to redo all the screws in the model.

Subject: [ccp4bb] Off topic: Kendrew Model
Hi all,
I'm going to interject into the middle of this rousing though
protracted debate to pick your brains. I am in possession of a rather
large and intact brass scale Kendrew model (sans mirrors). Due to
facility restructuring we no longer have room for it. I have approached
the local health science and natural science museums but have gotten
nothing but the run around. This amazing model is in need of a forever
home and I'm stumped as far as alternative ideas. I am seriously
considering suspending a Mars bars in the sugar binding cleft, calling
it MBP, and trying to spin it to the art museum as a modernist piece
commenting on the diets in Western civilization. Either that or putting
it in my dining room if I can get it in the door. Any suggestions would
be appreciated.
Cheers,
Katherine
