The Museum’s current facility was built to accommodate 200,000
visitors a year. Since we currently host 500,000 schoolchildren
annually — in addition to more than 2.5 million other visitors
– we need more space!
Thanks to the generosity of a number of community
funders — corporations, foundations and
individuals—we are in the midst of an $85 million expansion
that will add enough space to accommodate both our swelling numbers of
visitors and the community’s escalating interest in
thought-provoking exhibitions and informative educational programs.
In short, we’re about to add a lot of cool new exhibitions.
So, what should these exhibitions be? What should we fill all
this new space with? We’ve got lots of ideas — but what would you do?
