The end of the travels of the batteau "Discovery" came on May 7, 2001, when it was again picked up by a crane, this time to be lifted to the terrace level of the State Museum. This move was in preparation for entry into a new exhibit area - Windows on New York - where it would be the centerpiece for a display focused on the history of the Mohawk Valley and on programs developed by the State Museum that are driven by professional research.

	Once set down on the terrace, the batteau was rolled through the entry into the exhibit space for installation in the new exhibit opening in November.
	At its final mooring, the batteau "Discovery" is now part of the new Windows on New York exhibit on the Museum's Terrace Gallery.
