We’re so excited to share this milestone in the Museum’s history with you!

This project will provide a better visitor experience by renovating the existing Krieble Gallery, which opened in 2002. Skylights will be replaced, lighting upgraded, and fire sprinklers introduced.New construction includes much-needed additional gallery and programming space and adds a long-awaited Collections Research Center.

The project begins this November with a completion date set for fall 2027.

Only the Krieble Gallery is affected. Admissions and the FloGris Shop will be relocated for a short time.The Florence Griswold House, Rafal Landscape Center, Hartman Education Center, Chadwick Studio as well as the Museum’s grounds, gardens, and Robert F. Schumann Artists’ Trail will remain open during the construction. Parking is unaffected.

Cultural events, educational programs, group tours, and field trips will continue without interruption.

Starting November 27, Museum admission will be discounted to $9 adults, $7 seniors, $6 students and free for children ages 12 and under.
Holiday Magic, November 27 through January 3, and Holiday Teas, December 1 through January 3, continues as planned.
