The new building features, they say, “a state-of-the-art collections management facility” to house the museums 25-million-object collection (that sounds pretty much, and it’s probably because they have a rather unusual way of counting their artefacts, but nevertheless, their collection aren’t exactly miniscule).
The first exhibits available to the public will feature artifacts and specimens related to Civil War medicine and human anatomy/pathology.
