Chess exhibit in Washington (state)

Has anyone ever been to this museum?

Thinking about driving 4 hours out of my way to see it on my next roadtrip, but the site is very sketchy on details/photos.

Nobody has been there?

Ok, last attempt...has anyone been to this chess museum/exhibit?

I've been there. The exhibit has grown. I need to go back.

They currently have more than 400 chess sets. This article embeds a short video that might give you more than when you were looking at the website in 2014: https://www.maryhillmuseum.org/inside/exhibitions/permanent-exhibitions/international-chess-sets

Last Thursday, I gave a presentation on chess history to a group of senior citizens who will be going to Maryhill later this summer. As part of my preparation, I read Colleen Schafroth, The Art of Chess (2002). Schafroth has been the museum director many years and retires this month. The Art of Chess has images of many sets at Maryhill and is Schafroth's second book on the topic.

The lecture was recorded. People who know me in real life may message me and I can share the link. I'm not going to broadcast it here. That would be inappropriate. It was contracted work and the recording is owned by the people who paid me for the lecture.

I might present another version on YouTube at some point in the future, but that requires requesting anew permissions for some of the images that I used.

Even so, I have no problem sharing this slide:

I can also recommend two websites:

http://www.chess-museum.com/

http://history.chess.free.fr/history.htm

I think you mean that you don't understand matters like copyright, intellectual property, and contracts.

Thanks much .

Now pardon me while I take out the trash...

A fitting epitaph for you.

I used to live in Oregon and probably drove past the museum hundreds of times. Always thinking that one day I’d cross the Columbia for a visit. I did not know about the chess exhibit until now. 🤦‍♂️
