For the last two years he has been in the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/neilcoleadventuresinscifimuseum\">building a museum in Allendale, England<\/a>, detailing the history of Science Fiction. He is fulfilling his lifelong dream to create a small, permanent museum to share his collection of original props and costumes, original artwork (some of it his own) and share his passion for the genre. After months and months of work, all planning permits have finally been granted and\u00a0for the last year and a half, he has become builder, prop restorer, sculptor, curator, researcher, graphic designer, artist and anything else needed to bring his dream to fruition.
