From Rosemary Shinohara:

I got a tour of the $106 million addition to the Anchorage Museum today (Wednesday).

I like the space agey, glass and metallic facade. But the best thing about the addition is that the improvements to electronic security, climate control and other inner workings mean we can now get exhibits like the travelling "Gold" exhibit -- a spectacular show with ancient gold coins and jewelry and bullions worth untold millions.

It's so secure that my group of touring journalists had to wait a bit until the guards reached the floor. Len Anderson from KSKA joked in an aside, "I don't blame them, I wouldn't trust reporters either."

The museum opens to the public Saturday afternoon, and it's a free day. It'll be a party - music, food booths and more.
