This does sound great but because I'm an idiot I assumed the title meant that they had installed a 20 story LCD display on the side of an old space shuttle.
Which I thought was pretty cool too.
But I think I've been watching too many PC gaming hardware review videos.
I got to visit the Shuttle just before they closed it down to make this change, and it's a wonder to behold. They had it on display, about 10 feet off the ground (I forget how it was supported).
But it was an amazing piece of machinery to be in the presence of, to be so close.
They have the last boosters and last external fuel tank for this exhibit, parts I believe were originally used for testing. Seeing it upright will be amazing.
If you look at one of the photos on the site, you'll notice workmen below one of the SRB nozzles. As I understand it, that's how the entire this will be displayed -- being able to be beneath one of the nozzles. I have to assume there will be walkways to get closer to the shuttle itself.
I have some construction photos of them getting the SRBs in place. Like everything else, they're...big.
Anyway, looking forward to this exhibit reopening. Gonna be a one of kind exhibit.

Boy, I can hardly wait for this to open.
