The American wing is undergoing a major remodel, so they've closed off most of the gallery space. They must also be working on the storage space as well because in the space that's remaining open, they have what appear to be miles of storage shelves with just tons and tons of stuff, unlabled except with catalog number and then some reference computers which appeared to be the collection database. So a whole row of silver, then a whole row of glass. And not just an example of this glass and example of that glass, but whole sets, 12 of the same glass, then a stack of the same plates, etc. It was pretty awesome.
