Under construction at Fort Belvoir, south of Washington, DC.
There is a virtual tour of the completed museum which looks pretty good. 
One point is there will be a Sherman tank on display, which is being touted as "the first tank of Fourth Armored Division to enter Bastogne."
They always forget Task Force Ezell.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to this.  It's about four or five miles from my house, and I used to commute by bike past the construction site when I worked on Fort Belvoir.  When I had that job, one of the guys in our division was a volunteer with the museum, and he arranged a small tour of the warehouse for us, which was very impressive.
