Some of the period rooms are closed because of the construction of a new gallery for Contemporary Art that will open early this fall. The period rooms will reopen when the new Contemporary Gallery is completed. We apologize for the inconvenience and frustration caused by the closure. It is sometimes necessary, in an old and complex building, to close some galleries in order to create more and better galleries for the future. We hope that this exciting new gallery, which will provide a permanent home for the Museum’s collection of Contemporary Art for the first time in many years, will make the wait worthwhile.

We waited so patiently for what seemed like 5 years for the marvelous Schenck House and the rest to open again, and now a sign tells us everything is closed for construction!
