Answering Linda Ellis (31 Jan. 1996)

A very detailed description of the museum, its history, etc. is:

Edward Linenthal
Preserving memory: the struggle to create America's Holocaust Museum
New York: Viking
1995
ISBN 0-670-86067-0

As to its content, but especially as to its methodology it is one of the
best descriptions of a museum I know.
