Family members, survivors, and rescue workers tour the new exhibits at the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum.

The Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum is reopening the museum Tuesday following an $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.

Hundreds of oral testimonies and new artifacts are included throughout the museum, which chronicles the Oklahoma City bombing. The bombing killed 168 people and injured hundreds more.
