Construction crews at the museum recently installed more than 50 glass panels on a new welcome center at the museum. The new three-story building will serve as a gateway between the museum's Frederic C. Hamilton Building and the North Building, which is being modernized for future visitors. Both restaurants will be located in the welcome center.
