CHICAGO (CN) - Illinois wants to rescue John Lennon's guitar from the defunct Peace Museum. The guitar and other stuff has been sitting at storage sites, one of which may have "suffered significant water and mold damage," Attorney General Lisa Madigan says.
Madigan says that since no one, including museum administrator Melissa McGuire, has reregistered as a museum trustee, its valuables should to be handed over to "bona fide" charitable organizations.
The Peace Museum was founded in 1981 "to develop, promote, support and maintain facilities for research, writing, public discussion, creation, and exhibition of works of art, and education of the general public to promote world peace," according to its Article of Incorporation.
According to its own description, the museum's "staff members work with educators in inner-city Chicago and suburban public school[s] to teach peace and conflict resolution skills through art activity," and "present topics of civil rights, human rights, non-violent conflict resolution in individual and national areas."
