A Snopes-esque Museum of Fallacies and Lies.
There'd be big walls of the biggest hoaxes, lies, and misleading statements throughout history, and extensive research debunking them. There'd be the hall of Politics, devoted to political lies (PolitiFact), a hall of Superstition, where superstitious beliefs like black cats and broken mirrors were tested, a hall of Conspiracy for things like 9/11, the moon landings, Holocaust-deniers, etc., and a few other wings with things like computers where people could sit and see how good they were at spotting phishing emails or obviously false FWD:FWD:FWD emails. There'd even be a whole center area where people could use basic tools to reproduce the 'debunking' done in the other wings on their own.
I like your idea too, Will.. maybe if I win the lottery we can have a skybridge connecting my museum to yours..
