Irrelevant content?[edit]

I removed the content below from the article. The problem is that this material is WP:COATRACK material - nothing is about the museum. It appears that the themes mentioned here are/were covered in the museum, but without extra context stated to that effect, this material is inappropriate for an article about a museum, and represents a big content fork. I don't know what should happen to this article - if the museum has been defunct since 2005 then maybe this material isn't verifiable, or possible to clean up. I can't find any sources about it with a rudimentary google search, but then I don't really know where to look. Leaving the material here incase anyone has any better ideas.
