Nancy-
The Charlotte Museum of History went through a very similar experience two
years ago.  We went from a 5,000 square foot building that was used
primarily as a visitor center for our historic house to a 36,000 sq. ft.
building with three permanent galleries and two revolving galleries.  I'm
not sure what kind of information you are looking for specifically, but we
would be glad to try and answer any questions you have.

Subject: Museums that are growing


Our small local history museum is about to expand from our historic house
museum (around 5,000 sq. ft.) to a larger, new facility (24,000 sq. ft.)
that we are just starting to plan. We would like to get in touch with other
museums that have recently undergone this type of expansion, or are in the
process right now. If you know of museums, particularly history museums,
that have expanded recently, would you please let me know?

We are also in search of exhibit developers to work with us on this project.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.
