Campus Transformation: Gallery reopenings

Artworks hanging in a gallery with dark blue walls.

As our campus transformation progresses, visitors can look forward to the reopening of select permanent collection galleries located in the Main Building. When the Museum fully reopens in late 2025 all of the galleries will be newly reinstalled, offering fresh perspectives on the collection and enhanced art viewing experiences. Thank you for your patience as we build a better museum!

Conversations in Clay presents contemporary Japanese ceramics from one of the premier American private collections, together with works from the Museum’s permanent collection, most of which will be on view for the first time. The show emphasizes the diverse range of directions in contemporary ceramics, including natural ash glazes, sculptural forms, and meticulous surface treatments. It includes several pioneering women artists.

A section of our American Art galleries will reopen on January 22. The newly reinstalled galleries feature a mix of visitor favorites and rarely seen works—including a selection of American landscapes by Albert Bierstadt, George Inness, Thomas Moran, and William Sartain—alongside a small selection of contemporaneous historic works from our Native American collection. Also on view is Highest Heaven, a gallery of Baroque art from the Andes.
