The renovation include building and painting of new interior walls, installation of insulation and a new heating and air conditioning system, as well as a humidity control system. It will house new lights and a new lower ceiling. The building will be completely rewired. A conference room and an office space will be added by the time the project is complete. And two-thirds of storeroom space will be converted into display space. The building will be totally handicapped accessible.

All this is done to make the museum more accessible to the public, user-friendly to the local education system and less expensive to operate.
