The unanimous vote came FURNITURE after the museum’s director suggested displaying the flag in existing office space at an estimated cost of $200,000. “We’re mandated to exhibit it. We need to move forward and not let it sit,” Allen Rob- erson said. His suggestion involved com- bining two offices, raising the ceiling and installing glass doors to separate the space from the main gallery.
