That sounds like a great museum. Wish I'd found room to get down there when I was based in IL, even though being in the Chicago area put me a long ways from there!
You can get a copy of the documentary on e-bay for just $4.99 assuming no one else bids on it. The tape was part of a mail-order only series put out by NBC and Time-Life in the early 90s. Greene's narration is set to some authentic period recreations of the expedition and the effect is quite good. It gives you a good "you are there" feeling of taking part in the journey.

Thanks for the heads-up about the documentary.
Regarding the museum, it was really unlike other museums that I've been to. It had a bit of a "homestyle" feel to it -- soft lighting, carpeted floors, earth-tone shades to the decor. If we had the opportunity for more time, we could easily have spent an entire day in there.
I'll have to tell you about that trip, sometime.
