The museum is still in the works. Our congressmen decided to try to get more funding for it by trying to have a Hurricane Center incorporated into the project as part of what I would call pork barrel legislation. For that reason the project was put on hold until the fate of the center was decided. The center was just recently killed in Congress. The site has been cleared(which was a project in its own due to asbestos), but sadly construction has not started. You may want to check out the awesome exhibit on Pompeii at the Exploreum downtown though. The Museum of Mobile is located on the same block. All within a block of Alabama' new tallest skyscraper and the refurbished Battle House Hotel. Sorry we didn't get that museum done in time for your visit.
