The National Pinball Museum in Washington has announced they are closing due to their lease being revoked.
Statement by David F. Silverman Executive Director and Curator
“By now, some of you have seen or heard the news that National Pinball Museum has lost our lease at The Shops at Georgetown Park. Here’s what happened: shortly before opening in December, we learned that the mall was sold at auction. Much to our shock and dismay, the new owners (working within the parameters of our lease agreement) revoked our lease on May 18, 2011 permitting us just 60 days to vacate the facility to allow for their redevelopment of the mall.
We have developed a plan to minimize our downtime (if any) and are currently searching for a new location. The good news is that we are continuing operations at our current space through July 4, 2011 including exhibits, parties and of course pinball. So come out and play to until the flippers fall off!”
