GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Officials expect as many as 1,500 people to visit the newly remodeled Nebraska museum on Sunday, when the building’s rededication will be held.
The Leo B. Stuhr building’s renovation took 18 months and cost more than $7 million.
A wooden wagon is the only artifact on the building’s top floor that visitors will find familiar when the remodeled building reopens. New exhibits on the second floor are a wooden windmill and a gun collection.
Museum Executive Director Joe Black says staff decided to focus on different stories and artifacts because it would have been a disservice for the museum “to tell the same stories over and over.”
