Not a lot is written about this, but apparently much of the Thornton brothers' original collection of Polynesian artifacts was donated to their alma mater, Stanford University, in the 1970s after it was deemed to be too valuable to be displayed in the restaurant. Part of the collection was donated to the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art. It was last displayed in an exhibit there in 2011.
Whoa! What's happened to it, since?!

If it was a tax write-off, it could work. Plenty of images around and certainly lots of pieces from mugs and menus to old signs and costumes. Celebrities and videos.
The Bum bought a bunch of the chairs that were being stored there for Latitude 29.
I have heard the plans, but I think the final plan is still being debated.
I'm getting my MA in history…. maybe I can help out. heheh.
