New Jim Reeves Museum Posted by Ron McBride on September 20, 2007, 5:40 pm 69.254.234.106 I came across a link for a new Jim Reeves museum in Sweden. The museum was created by Bjorn Herlin. Here is the link, which is well worth checking out: http://www.jimreeves.se.  Post a Response

Re: New Jim Reeves Museum Posted by Bob Robyn on September 21, 2007, 4:46 am, in reply to "New Jim Reeves Museum" 24.152.207.185 Ron, thank you so much! What a treat that was to view those gorgeous pictures. Too bad we don't anything like that in our own country. I guess the display at the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame would be the closest. One question, though. That picture of Jim in the leather jacket looks mighty contemporary. (Also a little thin.) I guessing that was a cut and paste job, although a very good one. What do you think?

I like the house that is the museum it reminds me of the one in Nashville somewhat, but the construction and layout is quite different. Mary had things laid out in something of a chronologilical order charting Jims career right from the early days. quite The area is simply stunning however,it looks like a really peaceful place i can imagine Jim being quite at home there.  Post a Response

Like you, I think the pic was very well done, and as you say, very contemporary. One of my favorite pieces is the bust of Jim, which is an extremely good likeness.  Post a Response

Like you said, John, anything that helps to preserve Jim's name for posterity is great! Always for Jim, Doris  Post a Response

Re: New Jim Reeves Museum Posted by Roy Zinck on September 22, 2007, 7:16 pm, in reply to "Re: New Jim Reeves Museum" 142.167.145.71 Ron and Bob, did you notice the two pictures of Jim [superimposed flowers and stream and museum house]are actually two different poses. Same posture but different facial features in both. Thought it kind of interesting. The first picture, in my opinion, is probably one of the best that we have of our Jim.. Thanks so much Ron for sharing this site with us. Forever a fan Roy  Post a Response
