Proposed Expansions

  • An individual in the royal family may donate pound sterling from a visit to the United Kingdom in late 2019.
  • A second individual in the royal family intends to donate colónes from a visit to Costa Rica in early 2020.
  • As the museum is owned by the Naverian royal family, it is likely that any Naverian flags purchased or created in the future will be added to the museum.
