Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art announced some temporary gallery and exhibit closings as its expansion project progresses.
The big picture: The museum will move almost every work of art in the building as part of the project, which will add 114,000 square feet to the museum's existing 210,000 square feet.
State of play: The transformation of its galleries began Monday.
- The Contemporary and Modern galleries will be inaccessible while the museum creates a new American art experience.
- Some contemporary favorites will move into what is now the Early American galleries.
- Other works will be on hiatus, including Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room, which will reopen in 2026 with the expanded museum.
The temporary exhibition area, which is now showing the KAWS: FAMILY exhibit, remains open.
- Tickets are $15, and free for Crystal Bridges members, SNAP participants, veterans and anyone under 25 years old.
The bottom line: The entire expansion project is expected to be complete in 2026.
