Russert, who served on the Newseum's board of directors, was bureau chief for NBC News in Washington. He began hosting "Meet the Press" in 1991.

The "Inside Tim Russert's Office" will be relocated to Russert's hometown of Buffalo where it is expected go on view in the fall at the Buffalo History Museum.
