Well, its really not a surprise.  Although wildly popular in his day, 
time moves on.  As Taylor pointed on in another post, the the generation 
that enjoyed Liberace and Roy Rogers, who's museum also closed, is 
dieing off.  Although I would enjoy going to either of those museums and 
am sad to see them close, to be realistic I think the best hope is for 
an entertainment museum that would be inclusive of all iconic performers 
from various genres.  Such a museum could highlight everyone from 
Liberace to Harry Lauder.  (And both men made 78s so this is on topic.)
