Museum officials will unveil their plans for a new museum at a news conference today at 10 a.m. at the future site of the museum, a renovated building at 100 N. Hamilton St. They will also discuss their
progress on a $10 million fundraising drive aimed at opening museum doors by the summer of 2010.
Those doors will open to 41,570 square feet, a nearly five-fold increase from the museum 's current home at 100 State St. In the renovated building, which once housed a Montgomery Ward store and, later, state offices, the museum expects to welcome more than 82,000 visitors a year.
