Remodeled Truman library and museum preparing to reopen LAURA SPENCER, KCUR-FM FacebookTwitterEmail INDEPENDENCE, M o. (AP) — When director Kurt Graham arrived at the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library & Museum in July 2015, he immediately dove into a new project. “And as we got into it with the staff and the board and the other stakeholders in the community and people in the museum industry,” Graham says, “we realized that we weren’t just remodeling or refreshing the galleries. We were re-imagining the Truman Library from top to bottom.” The Truman Library & Museum, closed since July 2019, is poised to reopen this year, with a 3,000-square-foot addition and new ways to make the story of Truman and his presidency relevant to what’s happening today, radio station KCUR-FM reports.
