It will not be the same. The Higgins Armory Museum was a huge loss for the city. A lot of the armor was sold off. Plus the atmosphere of the original museum gave it a lot of character. It is a shame that a college did not purchase the collection and keep it going. It was not a lot of money. Yes they will have a few suits of armor a couple of swords but that is all.

Actually there will be more like 1500 objects on exhibit in the new gallery. It will also feature an open storage area, so you will finally see what was “behind the scenes”. It is being designed by people who worked at Higgins, so it is in good hands.
