摘要：	The River Discovery Center in Paducah, Ky., is now the Inland Waterways Museum. As part of the museum's 20th birthday celebration on August 14, staff announced the new name and a planned multi-million-dollar renovation and expansion. Phase 1 of the expansion will remove some non-working exhibits that were original to the museum and put in their place one focusing on the 1937 flood, executive director Polly Brasher said. Designed, fabricated and to be in-stalled by Solid Light Inc. of Louisville, Ky., the exhibit will use lighting, images and film footage from the flood along with first-hand testimony to recreate the experience of living in Paducah when it took place. "You'll hear the storm," Brasher said. "You'll see the lightning." As the water gets higher, the temperature will also drop. "What a lot of people don't realize was it was in January, and it was freezing," Brasher said. The renovation phase also includes equipping a second classroom and updating the museum's model of the steamboat Delta Queen, to include refurbishment of sounds and lighting.
