The St. Louis Holocaust Museum will expand 35,000 square feet.
Groundbreaking on the two-story, $18 million museum expansion and endowment project is expected to begin in late May and be completed by the end of 2021.
The expanded museum will have its own dedicated entrance and feature a much larger exhibit space to help enhance its permanent collection of more than 12,000 artifacts.
Other additions will include a flexible multipurpose room that can accommodate up to 250 people, an expanded learning center, two classrooms, a library and reading room, archival space, a memorial for the Jewish War Veterans and a 3,000-square-foot area for rotating exhibits.
