Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation Establishes Licensing Agreement with Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Museum in Second Life

This is excellent news -- according to Jon Brouchard of the Arch Network, the Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Museum, which launched in Second Life last year to much enthusiasm, is now officially partnered licensed with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which was established in 1940 by the great builder himself. (I just got confirmation of the arrangement from someone with the Foundation.) To my knowledge, this is by far the highest profile partnership licensing agreement between a world class architect and a Second Life presence. Visit the sim yourself, aptly called Usonia (named after FLW's vision for US architecture) -- [SLurl here]

Update, 2/4: Tomorrow (Feb 5th), there's going to be a building contest at the Frank Lloyd Wright Virtual Museum "to see who can create the most functional and appealing building within the parameters of the Usonian ideals of Frank Lloyd Wright." More details in New World Notes' events guide for this week.

I can confirm that Virtual Museums, Inc. and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation have entered into a Licensing agreement, however the use of the word “partnership” is a legal construct implying more than a license agreement. Our organizations are in the process of completing a formal press release. The information that you received was a very rough draft of a possible press release that was not intended to be released and was done so by accident.

Thanks Frey, I've amended accordingly.

This is indeed good news.
Now we have serious ammo in the STFU cannon.

Premature congratulations, Frey! This is really wonderful news.
