[i][Elizabeth Weinstein, the museum's chief curator] said, at some point the moon rocks were removed from their original mounting, which includes a plaque with a small Louisiana flag that also went to the moon and the rocks' official authentication from NASA. Museum officials recently restored the rocks to their original plaque and hope to have them back on view by July 20, 2019, the 50th anniversary of when Armstrong took "one small step." As for the piece of the Apollo 17 moon rock that was given to Louisiana, Weinstein had no idea where it might be. There is no record of its presentation or exhibit in The Advocate’s archives. The Louisiana State Museum and state archives and governor’s office had no record of it, though the governor's office said it is still looking.[/i]
