Museum News

Attention: The African Art & Crone Galleries will be closed due to major construction and renovation projects happening during the summer into the end of August. This construction will result in an expanded African Art Gallery that tells a more inclusive story featuring all the regions of traditional African arts and an upgraded museum collections storage area. But stay tuned for a sneak peek of the African Art Gallery's expansion seen in AMUM's next exhibition "All of Africa" opening July 29, 2024!
