Lady Gaga is reported to be opening her own Michael Jackson museum, to display the £1.25million of Jacko's property that she owns.
Business Recorder reports that American media outlets suggest that Gaga is currently searching for a premises to house and showcase the 55 items that belonged to the King of Pop that she bought from an auction. Among the items were his iconic 'Thriller' jacket and diamond-encrusted glove.
"Gaga is a huge Michael fan, and she feels that there needs to be a real museum to celebrate his life and work," a source said. "She has been stocking up on items from all over the world. Some of her purchases have been under different names so that she is not overpaying for artifacts. But now she has a few pieces she is planning out the next stage of where the location for the museum should be."
They continued: "She’s considering Gary, Indiana where Jackson started his career, her hometown NYC or Los Angeles, close to his Neverland home.”
The 'Telephone' singer' is also quoted as saying: "I will put together a museum and put the money to a foundation he cares about."

Recently, Gaga responded to claims that the relatively poor performance of her 2013 album ARTPOP cost record Interscope millions, and led to staff at the label losing their jobs.
An article in the Examiner (which has since been withdrawn) claimed Interscope had lost around $25 million (£15 million) due to the poor sales of the singer's third album, which caused staff at the label to be made redundant. Writing on her fansite LittleMonsters.com, the singer claimed that there is "no truth to many of your comments, including the 25 million dollars deficit."
