New wing of U-M's Kelsey Museum opens in Ann Arbor

Concentrate, 11/5/2009

One of downtown Ann Arbor's oldest buildings is showing off a whole new side, err… wing.

Excerpt:

The Kelsey Museum at the University of Michigan is reopening this week, bigger and better than ever before - thanks to a significant expansion.

The 1888 building received a new 20,000-square foot wing as part of an $8.5 million gift to the museum. That wing will now make it possible to house all of the 100,000-plus artifacts and increase the display number to 200-300 artifacts.
