Perhaps the biggest inconvenience will
be to researchers, since the renovation
requires the Library and Archives on the
second floor to close for two years.
“As we’re moving, the MTHS staff (in
addition to moving the library, archive, and
artworks) are preparing for new exhibits
that will be appearing when we reopen,”
said Eve Byron, Public Information Officer
at the MTHS. “They will be working on a
homeland gallery exhibition, which will
cover 13,000 years ago to present, and the
CMR Russell gallery will triple in size.”
Eventually, most of the current staff will
have to relocate as well.
“Our staff will remain in our offices as
long as possible, but clearly the construc-
tion renovations will be impactful,” said
Kruckenberg.
Fortunately, the museum store (just off
the lobby of the Roberts Street entrance)
will remain open until the MTHS can find
a temporary location nearby. Other popular
public programs have been relocated to the
Lewis and Clark Library. Those programs
have all been shifted to a 6:30 pm start time,
to better accommodate the public.
When completed, the facility will be
impressive, at 66,000 square feet, and it will
better serve the public than the outdated
and cramped original building.
The research center will relocate to the
main floor, where the bookstore used to be.
