Look if you want to do the 1900s millionaire philantropic bullshit, you just make a nice ornate public space and put your name on it. You don't build a monolithic museum to "your legacy". That's the sort of thing a villain with a Walt Disney mustache would do. Even he would have some taste and not build an obilesk that looks like the missingno Pokémon.

  • Personally I think it looks a bit like a particularly mangled Rapa Nui statue. Missingno is a bit more abstract than this. But also am I bad for thinking individual people shouldn't get museums unless it's a childhood home or something? Maybe the occasional inventor or whatever could get a section named after them but politicians in particular inherently don't deserve museums mostly because it's unbecoming IMO. Yes even the good ones like FDR.
