Expansion of Special Exhibits Gallery

Thanks to funding from Washington State, 4 Culture, and a major private donor, the museum completed work nearly doubling the size of its Special Exhibits Gallery.

An enlarged gallery enables the museum to host a broader range of traveling exhibits and put more of the museum's own collections on display.
