The newly-renovated Allen Memorial Art Museum will be open over Commencement Weekend, and the newly reinstalled permanent collection, as well as special exhibitions, will be on view. The interior renovation provided an opportunity to replace the AMAM’s 30-year-old mechanical system to meet the museum’s complex climate control requirements. It also included critical upgrades to gallery lighting, security and fire suppression, as well as the renovation and expansion of storage spaces for the AMAM’s internationally respected collection.

Special exhibitions include: Artists on Artists, Italy on Paper, and Ephemeral Installations and the Aesthetics of Nature.
