Many of you have heard that we are in the planning stage to expand the museum. After minimal thought and nominal discussion, we have determined the best course of action is to add an aditional floor. This is a view of the new facility with the expansion that will include more office space, collections storage, a lounge, game room, hot tub, and four-star hotel accomodations for our visitors. Have a happy April Fool's Day!
