The Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation is excited to announce a new $100 million, multi-year project to revitalize the 137,000-square-foot museum on Ellis Island. Commencing in 2024, the project will offer visitors a more compelling and comprehensive experience inside the National Museum of Immigration.
Interactive exhibitry, engaging films, and new programming and temporary exhibit space will transform the visitor experience. Essential repairs and updates will continue the Foundation’s efforts to preserve the historic structure. The renovated Records Discovery Center will feature new exhibits, a mini-theater, a green-screen experience, and 50% more public research stations; the passenger arrival records database will more than double with the addition of data from ports of entry across the U.S.
