The Confederate flag that has been flying on the grounds of the South Carolina State House for more than 50 years came down Friday shortly after 10 am.

It will now be moved to a place that many said it the only fitting home for a flag that carries a painful part of US history: a museum.

The South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum, to be exact. After the flag was taken down, we decided to visit the museum to see what the Confederate flag would be joining.

Here's what we saw:

The exterior of the South Carolina State Museum, which houses the Confederate Relic Room.

This is where the South Carolina Confederate flag will rest.
