The museum that’s been free is about to become even more welcoming. We’re creating a new welcome center that bonds two beloved buildings into one, new ways to experience more than 6,000 works you’ve never seen, and a commitment to bringing, and sharing art, with future generations. Phase one starts with Collections, a space that has held our work, and now a place you will soon be able to visit.
