We have Mormon History Museums, Natural History Museums, but not state. Have you heard anything about that?

There is the Pioneer Museum as well, just up Main Street near the Capitol.
I know that there has been talk in the past, years ago. The problem is that there were some in the Legislature that wanted the Museum in Fillmore, others in Salt Lake, near the archives, and the others that wanted it at the Capitol building or the Fair Park.
With the Archives setup to move to a new building, I personally think that this would be a great opportunity to incorporate a State History Museum into the Archive building.
I haven't heard anything recently (last 2 years) but I will keep an ear out.
