The World of Speed Museum in Wilsonville, Oregon, just south of Portland, is closing its doors permanently due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. From the Museum’s website:
“It is with heavy hearts we announce the permanent closure of World of Speed Motorsport Museum. The museum has been temporarily closed to the public since March …
I am Ron Luellen Director of the Carroll Shelby Autotive Program at North East Texas Community College in Mount Pleasant Texas. Who would I contact about us possibly recieving things from the museum?
In reply to rluellen :
Some of the staff have responded in this thread:

But, ultimately:
"World of Speed’s assets and funds will be distributed to 501(c)(3) museums and schools throughout the next three to eight months, as required by Oregon law. This will allow the museum’s collection of historic race cars, boats and motorcycles to live on for future generations to enjoy."
I suspect the State of Oregon Secretary of State would be a good contact:

Slowly museums are closing. One click on google then you would find all information about an object and how I miss school field trips.
