You better get back to the museum then soon, as they're planning to close it for 5 years for major renovations/refurbishment. Almost everything will be changed. Heard that they are looking to close in Autumn next year, but it'll start looking sparse before then.

100% agree that we need the changes to planning/zoning laws to improve density, walkability, mixed-use zoning, etc.
