As the museum prepares to celebrate its reopening, it is researching an apartment re-creation dedicated to a Black family, introducing a neighborhood walking tour called Reclaiming Black Spaces and revising all of its apartment tours to look more squarely at the ways that race and racism shaped the opportunities open to the mostly white immigrants whose struggle and striving is explored there.

.- Showcase Showdowns and Daily Doubles of yesteryear will no longer be relegated only to reruns.
A museum in Rochester, New York, announced Wednesday that it would serve as the home of a first-of-its-kind National Archives of Game Show History to preserve artifacts and footage from programs like Jeopardy! The Price Is Right and the The $25,000 Pyramid.
The archives will be housed at the Strong National Museum of Play, which is undergoing an expansion that will add 90,000 square feet to its space and that it expects to be completed by 2023.
The Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, N.Y., will house the archives, which it hopes will include set pieces, audience tickets, press photos and other memorabilia.
