While it's true that the contents von Braun's ABMA desk and office chair were donated to the U.S. Space & Rocket Center "after he was named Director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center," it was actually quite a bit after: MSFC was officially established as a NASA center, with von Braun as its director, on July 1, 1960; MSFC was dedicated by President Eisenhower on September 8, 1960. The Alabama Space & Rocket Center (as the U.S. Space & Rocket Center was known at the time), did not open for nearly a decade, on March 17, 1970.
