The Illinois Attorney General's Office is looking into the abrupt shutdown of the Korean War Veterans Museum & Library in Springfield.
The museum is locked, and major exhibits appear to have been removed. The only notices of the museum's closing were posted on its doors and on a Facebook page that has been removed.
Annie Thompson is a spokeswoman for the attorney general. She says the office plans to reach out to the museum to discuss the shutdown. She says the museum didn't file a not-for-profit disclosure report in 2016 and that it has lost its not-for-profit registration.
Federal tax records show the museum turned a profit for one year from 2010 to 2015. During that time, it reported more than $7.6 million in revenue and more than $586,000 in losses.
