Is This Town Big Enough for Two Museums?

I'm torn about the Long Beach Heritage Museum. After flipping through the website, I sense there's a small but dedicated group that enjoys talking about the golden days of Long Beach (the Pike, the Red Cars, etc.) and has access to a sizable photo collection and memorabilia. It doesn't seem to have the organization or outreach of Historical Society of Long Beach though, and frankly I don't think there's enough interest in this city's history to support two historical museums. Wouldn't it be better to work together and combine the two collections?
