When they first purposed building a new museum they reported that in the current structure it was only possible to display a small percentage of all the artifacts in the museum's actual collection and indicated that most of the material was hidden away for years and seldomly if ever on display to the public. They promised that when this new museum was finally constructed that first and foremost it would offer far more space than the existing building and that would allow them to have a far greater amount of artifacts on permanent display than ever before possible in the museum's entire history. What happened to that promise? The new museum looks to be a pathetic mess in an unsightly structure that I can honestly say, I could never support or visit ever again. Very sad!
They are going to demolish the existing Milwaukee style dioramas. Those are history themselves. This proposed new building is smaller than the original central library museum. In their cost estimates, they included the county parking garage repairs with their estimate to make it seem more costly than it is.
So excited! Can’t wait!
