[HNW] Smithsonian's National Museum of American History

[Cozit / Liz]

I *think* that I remembered to let you all know that the museum is 
closing for renovations in September.  I just wanted to add that there 
are many exhibits closing before that, in preparation (there are quite a 
number remaining open through Labor Day as well).

The Textiles Hall *is* closing this month, although a specific date 
hasn't been given yet.  Finally found the lists of closing and 
not-closing on the web.... but I *have* noticed that the closing soon 
list doesn't *quite* match up with what I got in my docent e-mail 
(sorry, deleted it...but remember the list as longer... may have 
included a few specific items from other exhibits or something...).

Closing before September 4th:

Remaining open until the museum closes end of day September 4th:

Oh.. and the older First Ladies dresses *are* scheduled to be removed 
from public view some time in July.
