From the April 3, 2015, Washington Times "Museum created at lab where historic submarine conserved" by Bruce Smith, AP.
North Charleston, South Carolina. Artifacts that were formerly displayed hodge-podge where the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley is being conserved are now arrayed in a manner that makes sense in a museum next to the lab.
The conservation work on the famous sub is expected to take another five years, but now, working with design Dimensions of Raleigh, N.C., a museum has been created. It includes interactive exhibits, videos and displays. there is also an exhibit that explains what was happening in Charleston during the war. then visitors see information about the vessel and its crew, then they get to see the actual Hunley.
It is estimated that more than 500,000 have viewed the submarine over the years (and that is considering it is usually open only on the weekends which it was when I tried to see it awhile back during the week).
Once the ship is conserved, the Hunley will be on permanent display in a $40 million museum to be built nearby.
