A feat to be commended and celebrated. Since the June flooding, they have mucked out their building and restored it sufficiently to have staff back in the building, the beginnings of a museum store, and an exhibit installed. While doing all of the this, they also continued all their statewide programming and facilitated flood recovery work of the damaged collections. There&#8217;s much to be done but they have a great start. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some photos of the grand re-opening along side the same area the day we entered the building to inspect for flood damage.
