It was stored in various cities until 1952, when it was placed in the National Archives Building in Washington, D.C. During the daytime, pages one and four of the document are displayed in a bullet-proof case. The case contains helium and water vapor to preserve the paper's quality. At night, the pages are lowered into a vault, behind five-ton doors that are designed to withstand a nuclear explosion.

Apparently pages 2 and 3, as well as the transmittal page, remained in a vault and were not publicly displayed year round.

When the National Archives Rotunda reopens sometime in 2003, all 5 pages will be displayed in their new cases. So it looks like you will have to wait until 2003 and then head to Washington, D.C. to catch a glimpse of the full document.
