American Pickers star Danielle Colby is gearing up to launch her new burlesque museum, and her husband and children have played key roles in the project ahead of its grand opening, she tells Newsweek. Who Are Danielle Colby's Husband and Kids? Colby is a mother to son Miles and daughter Memphis, and she wed her husband, photographer Jeremy Scheuch, in February 2024. On Saturday June 21, Colby will open the doors to her Ecdysiast Arts Museum, a space that will celebrate the burlesque community with pieces from her own personal collection. "Everybody has been helpful," Colby told Newsweek. "Jeremy, my husband, he built everything."

Gary Miller/FilmMagic The reality TV star—who has been on American Pickers since its premiere in 2010—walked me around the space located in Davenport, Iowa, during our video call. From the original hardwood floors to the original tin ceiling, the building itself is a work of art. "We tried to keep everything as recycled as possible in here," she said, noting that the stage was donated "from one of the local colleges." Colby shared that her son Miles assisted Scheuch in building the risers, while Memphis "helped paint everything." She also chipped in to clean and organize the costumes and collections. Colby's Burlesque Career Prior to television stardom, Colby "founded, produced and performed in a burlesque troupe," her website bio states. Over the years, her burlesque career has taken her around the world, and she "plans to continue celebrating this art form long into the future," her bio continued. Many of Memphis' friends—who are local burlesque community members—have been supportive of the Ecdysiast Arts Museum. "We're really, really lucky," Colby told Newsweek. "There's so much help that we've been receiving. We're just thankful and honored." The Museum's Artifacts and Activities The items that will be on display in the museum are "an accumulation of over 20 years of my collection," Colby said, adding that she "started collecting burlesque items before American Pickers." "Once American Pickers kicked off, then it opened up a whole new world for me to be able to collect things I never thought I could collect before," the Davenport native said. "Now we have such an accumulation that it's like, 'Okay, if we don't actually put this into motion now, then it's just never going to happen.'" "We always say that the most important thing about what we do is really striving to be a good steward of history, and I feel like keeping things in a collection in boxes in my storage unit is not that," Colby continued. "So this is the best way for me to be a good steward of history and try to pass this information along and share these beautiful artifacts with the world."

Minnie Tonka, an international burlesque star and Colby's friend, will be flying in from New York to teach a class on comedy and burlesque. "She's just amazing, she's somebody that I've looked up to in my career since the very beginning, and I've been in this game for over 20 years now," Colby said of Tonka. "Her performances have always been stellar and hilarious and very sensual." Yulie Padilla, a renowned pole dancer from Puerto Rico, will also be traveling to Iowa for the grand opening to teach classes. "We're just excited to open the doors and show everybody this amazing space," Colby said. American Pickers Season 27 returns on Wednesday, July 2, at 9 p.m. ET on the History Channel, Colby confirmed.
