Oklahoma City Memorial Reopening Tuesday With New Exhibits and Artifacts

A key piece of evidence, hundreds of oral testimonies and new artifacts to attract a younger generation of visitors will be unveiled tomorrow at the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

The additions are part of the second and third phrase of a nearly $8 million project to enhance the structure with new artifacts and exhibits.

Detailed information on the investigation of the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building and the evidence collected have been added to the museum. They include a key piece of evidence - the car that Timothy McVeigh was driving when he was pulled over and arrested north of Oklahoma City on the day of the bombing.

The bombing killed 168 people and injured hundreds more.
