Kopp is the mastermind of the vision. After nine years, she is seeing it come to life.

"It's really important for people to understand that our museum, going back 100 years, has always changed and grown based on the world outside of us. The world's changed, we've changed too in really exciting ways. We also been the change makers in terms of what we've achieved here in the museum," Kopp said. 

Kopp said she hopes the attractive builds excitement of the museum's evolution as it prepares for its new location. 

"There's so many people coming together here to help pull this together," Kopp said.
