Wahoo!  First shipping container is purchased, and a down-payment on the second one has already been made (identical to this one).  They're pre-insulated with climate control units built in.  In other words, they already have insulated walls, heating and air conditioning built in. It's a 40' high cube.


More updates coming soon - the container will hopefully be dropped off by the end of January!


One proposed layout for the museum.

Yup, yer here!  This is the webpage for the portable museum project.


CSMC will be finding a new home inside of two shipping containers.  Progress reports, needs, and of course - photos, will be posted on this page as they are available.

The Plan:
Outfit two 40' shipping containers with slide-outs and museum displays.  These containers join together into a drop-in-place traveling creation museum which will set up at malls, parking lots, churches, restaurants, etc... all across Canada for one to four weeks at a time.  Eventually this will probably head into the US as well.

The museum will feature:
  • unique displays not seen an any other museum
  • animatronic dinosaurs
  • loads of scientific evidence refuting evolution and affirming the biblical account of creation
  • displays that the whole family can learn from and enjoy
I expect to be able to build the museum for around $75,000 Canadian (see breakdown below).
Because it will be run as a for-profit museum, investors are invited to help finance the project. Drop me a line (ianjuby [at] ianjuby.org - replaceth thou the [at] with @) or give me a call at 877-532-9160, ext 100 to discuss investing.

  • 15 HO scale locomotives (they can be skeletons, no motors), plus one caboose
  • two RV AC units

  • multimedia projectors (2 needed)

  • Motor home, suitable for a small family to live in
Estimated cost breakdown (or, "where'dya git yer numbers from?")
Two shipping containers, @ $7,800 delivered, = $15,600
Wages for me* for 24 months @ $1,500/month = $36,000
Construction materials for displays: est. $2,500**
2 multimedia projectors $3,000
RV AC & furnace units: $800
Cabinetry: $3,000
Electrical & lighting (not incl. generator): $2,000
Generator: $1,000?
Lift system: $2,000 (remote container handling system)
Total of $65,900
The remainder raised will go towards hardware and construction materials for the slide-outs and interior, doors, buying pre-built exhibits, and occasional labour. (yes, ten grand disappears real quick on projects like this)

This cost does not include the Motorhome or small car that are needed.

*It's pretty simple: I can stay focused on construction if my monthly expenses are met, which I can keep down to $1,500/month, counting on 24 months.  Rather than charge what I normally charge for construction of the many displays, I will simply get a low monthly wage to keep cost down.  For example, the Grand canyon model would normally sell for around $5,000, but instead it will save roughly $3,000 off the price in the end by just taking a monthly wage - effectively I'm donating a whole pile of time/money to the project.

** Because I already have many museum exhibits that will go into the museum (tens of thousands of dollars worth), the materials for the displays are cheap - it's the work time that goes into displays that makes them expensive.
