Renovations to began Monday, January 6
The R.W. Norton Art Gallery announces the temporary closure of its American Wing starting Monday, 6 January 2025, for comprehensive renovations and updates. This timely initiative aims to enhance the visitor experience and preserve the museum’s rich collection for future generations.
The renovations will include freshly painted walls, new layout of collections, and updated galleries to better showcase the museum’s diverse collection of American art. These changes will align with the museum’s mission to inspire, educate, and enrich the community through art and history.
“This renovation is an investment in the future of the R.W. Norton Art Foundation and the community which it serves,” said Emily Feazel, Designer of Exhibits and Special Events at the R.W. Norton Art Gallery. “We are committed to providing an exceptional experience for our visitors and preserving the integrity of our collections for years to come.”
While the American Art Wing undergoes renovations, the museum’s European collection, special exhibitions, and botanical gardens will remain open to the public. Special programming and events will also continue, ensuring that visitors can still enjoy a wide range of cultural experiences during this work.
The museum anticipates the renovation will be completed by the beginning of April. Updates and behind-the-scenes on the progress and reopening plans will be shared on the museum’s website and social media platforms.
The R.W. Norton Art Gallery thanks its patrons and Shreveport for their continued support and patience.For more information about the renovation or to stay updated on museum news, please visit www.rwnaf.org or follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
