Renovation News
The Gallery is currently embarking on the next phase of its expansion project, scheduled for completion in 2011, which includes the renovation of the Swartwout building and Street Hall, the two historic structures adjacent to the recently renovated Kahn building. The Kahn building is operating as usual during the renovation and the Gallery continues to showcase objects from the permanent collection along with a wide range of special exhibitions.
Below are important details on how our renovation may affect your visit. We appreciate your patience during this time.
Third Floor Closure and Reinstallation

Reopening on February 20, the third floor will display works from the collections of early European art, modern and contemporary art, American paintings and sculpture, and American decorative arts.
