The museum revealed the $903,284 theft - discovered in April 2014 - in its 2014 Form 990 filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
The employee hasn't been charged yet with a crime. But the FBI and the U.S. attorney's office are investigating the theft, according to Ray DeThorne, the museum's chief marketing officer.
