Had the opportunity to visit the Warsaw Neon Muzeum. This amazing museum details the rise, fall and the return of neon in cold-war Poland and shares amazing insight into the importance that neon shares as a reflection of community. Beautiful pieces from all eras working with the hum of transformers in the background made this the best museum in Warsaw. The museum is an inspiration for those of us undertaking the restoration of the Fabulous 7 Motel and how it forms an integral part of American Roadside History.
