Phase II Renovation & Reinstallation
Funded in part through a National Endowment for the Humanities challenge grant, our Phase II renovation will elevate all gallery spaces to the standard set by the award-winning Phase I renovation completed in 2016. A major enhancement of Phase II is the creation of a second study center embedded in the Museum’s collection galleries. Other updates include renovating two galleries that were not addressed during Phase I and enhancements to storage that will improve the long-term care of our collection.
The architectural changes of Phase II provide an opportunity to rethink the installation, presentation, and interpretation of our fourth-floor collection galleries. With support from an additional NEH grant, a complete reinstallation of our collection galleries will expand the diversity of cultural groups and identities represented through four new exhibitions.
Check this page for updates on renovation and reinstallation progress. University and K–12 classes can access these galleries by appointment beginning October 12 and public access will begin November 3.
