IDAHO FALLS — A local museum that once exhibited a replica of a six-ton mammoth has been experiencing some space issues. Museum of Idaho officials said they have outgrown their current facility, which is over 30,000 square feet. Administrators have decided it is time for the space to nearly double in size with a 26,000 square foot expansion. “For a long time the Museum of Idaho has been growing and maturing as an institution and we have filled ourselves to capacity already, and there are so many more things that we’ve wanted to do,” museum spokesman Jeff Carr says.
