From January 2015 through 2016, the collections storage areas of the Freer Gallery of Art will be unavailable for research or visits due to the replacement of the building’s heating, humidification, and ventilation systems. Throughout 2016 the Freer’s galleries and Meyer Auditorium will be closed to visitors. Concerts, films, and other public programs will be held at sites around the Smithsonian.
The Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Library, and Archives will remain open during this period.
Freer and Sackler storage will reopen on November 1, 2017 by appointment only.
