Beginning on March 4, 2025, select galleries and other public spaces on the second floor of the museum will temporarily close to guests to accommodate long-planned gallery improvements.
Rolling closures began with the current African American galleries and expanded over the following three months. All galleries will reopen over the course of the next two years.
This transformative project will reimagine the presentation of the DIA’s African American, Modern, and Contemporary galleries, with a goal to enhance the experience for visitors. The museum always provides regular updates on works of art that are on view in the museum on the website collection pages.
During this period, the DIA will also provide the latest details on gallery closures here.
Second Floor North Wing Gallery Closures
- African American Galleries
- German Expressionism & Surrealism
- Modern
- Tiff Massey: 7 Mile + Livernois/Contemporary
Plus an additional gallery in the South Wing showcasing Contemporary works starting June 24.
