The Bob Moog Foundation has an update on the Moogseum at their blog:

Those of you who were at Winter NAMM ‘09 were lucky enough to see the sneak preview of our planned Bob Moog Museum, or Moogseum. We are immensely proud of this project, as it represents the culmination of over three years of energy, focus and vision — and ongoing support from all of you.

The Moogseum will be the convergence of the Foundation’s goals of educating and inspiring people through electronic music, just as Bob did himself.

It will serve as a educational, historical and cultural resource to Western North Carolina and the worldwide electronic music community through the following exhibits and facilities:

• An interactive timeline of the life and work of Bob Moog and the many people with whom he collaborated
• An archival center where rare documents, including project notes, articles, photos and schematics from Bob Moog’s archives, can be viewed on an interactive LED screen
• Several interactive instrument-based exhibits that will allow people the ability to experience the science behind the sound of electfonic music. We envision bays of Theremins hooked up to Moogerfoogers and rows of synthesizers hooked up to oscilloscopes filling our interactive area. A modular synthesis wall is planned as well.
• A Young Inventors Lab where children will be inspired to explore electronic music and create their own prototype through our Youth Outreach programs, afterschool workshops and summer camps.
• A rotating exhibit space which highlights new innovations in musical instrument interface as well as shared exhibits from other museums.
• A 200 seat performance space that will host concerts, lectures, festivals and sound exhibits

The Foundation is in the initial planning stages for the Moogseum, and projects the facility to open in the next three to five years. Premliminary costs for Phase One of the facilty are estimated to be $3 million, which will be raised from granting organizations, corporate sponsors and private donors.

You can preview the design concepts for the Moogseum in this brochure (pdf).
