To add to Tim McShane's listing for museum renovations here in Canada:
The Canadian War Museum: We had to close the Museum to the public for 9
months in order to facilitate the removal of everything from the old
building, and prepping it for installation in the new building, which open
on May 8 2005 (the 60th anniversary of D-Day)
