LONG TIME COMING: A thousand guests thronged the famed museum’s grand re-opening after a two-year renovation, marveling at the new skylight and balconies surrounding the vast atrium and an awe-inspiring new star spangled gallery for Old Glory. Lots of crowd-pleasers were back, ranging from the First Ladies’ gowns and Thomas Edison’s light bulb to Dorothy’s ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz.
