Also, does anyone have any additional details on progress of the Idaho Historical Museum renovation? To me it looks like nothing's been done since they closed at the end of 2014, and I'm inferring that since there aren't even any work containers for interior remodeling. According to their webpage they'll be closed through most of next year. What I'm mostly wondering is if current plans still call for significant upgrades to the exterior. I know it's a state project, so who knows what the details are on the funds. For those that recall, this is what the updated museum is supposed to look like:

Looks like construction bids will go out this spring.
This is from their web site:
Why did the Museum close so early?
We closed to the public in August 2014 to allow our staff time to disassemble the exhibitions, catalog and conserve artifacts, and empty staff offices and public spaces for asbestos abatement; which took place in the spring of 2015.
Once asbestos abatement was completed, the architecture firm and exhibit design team began the work to align needed infrastructure to accommodate an entirely new exhibition experience and control costs of the project.
The building renovation will go out to public bid in the spring of 2016.
