IDAHO FALLS Many east Idahoans have visited the Museum of Idaho at least a few times over the decades, but no one has ever seen all the potential it has to offer until now. After two years of renovations and at least four years of planning, the museum’s staff will once again open the doors to the public and unveil two new exhibits today.
The first exhibit, labeled “The Way Out West,” is a long term addition to the museum, specifically curated to tell the story of eastern Idaho. Many of the artifacts premiered for the opening came from a storage vault housing 25,000 pieces that the museum simply didn’t have space to display until now, according to the museum’s marketing director Deborah Chessey.
