Here's a look at the $1.2 million Polaroid Fotobar and Polaroid Museum planned to open at The Linq in March. The 28,911-square-foot flagship store will feature a Mobile Print Shop, a spot already open at the entertainment district and serving up instant photos from a van.

The second-floor museum promises to be "interactive and educational" with a look at how its founder Edwin Land was a forerunner to the instant and collaborative sharing nature of social media. Here find rare artifacts, art and advertising courtesy of the Polaroid Historical Collection at MIT. The museum's main attraction will be the Andy Warhol "Capturing Celebrity" exhibition, which will feature a collection of 50 of Warhol's most famous Polaroid photographs, as well as two of Warhol's personal Polaroid cameras.

Of course, the Polaroid Museum is raising money through Indiegogo, so far receiving $5,617 toward its $100,000 goal with 11 days of fundraising remaining. The museum will receive all the funds raised even if they don't reach that $100,000 mark.
