The museum may be the only Hispanic museum in the state, he said.
Many of the items collected or donated are too fragile to be moved frequently and could only be put on display at a static exhibition.
I have not even shown the best of what we have in our collection, because I will not take it out to be traveled with, he said.
Some items have already begun to show wear from a year of travel, making the need for a home more evident, he said.

Planning minister Greg Clark has said there should be a presumption against the building of more out-of-town shopping centres, and insisted the green belt would continue to be protected, as he announced the biggest shakeup of the planning system for more than half a century.
The National Planning Policy Framework replaces more than 1,000 pages of planning rules put in place by successive governments with a single, 50-page document intended to simplify the system and kickstart more housebuilding and other development to create jobs.

Erie-area residents turn sustainable agriculture into hobbies
The little brown hen made a big fuss as she flew the coop.
From inside the little gray shed, where a small gathering of hens sat in their nest boxes, they could see Fred Dunn, 51, coming. The little brown hen didnt stick around to greet him — she hopped out of her box and scuttled out the door and into the afternoon sunshine, clucking madly as she went.
