RELEASE: March 26, 2007
Amon Carter Museum
to Close for Repairs to Fire Suppression System
FORT WORTH, Texas—Amon Carter
Museum
Director Ron Tyler announced today that the museum will close to the
public
beginning May 21 for a period of approximately three months to undergo
preventive
maintenance and repairs on the building’s fire suppression system. The
museum will reopen for the special exhibitions Chimneys
and Towers: Charles Demuth’s Late Paintings of Lancaster and
Accommodating Nature: The
Photographs of Frank
Gohlke.
“The museum’s priority is always to
the
care of the collection, as well as our visitors, and we have determined
that both
the artwork and our guests are best protected by closing the museum for
this
period of repair,” Tyler
said. “The alternative would have been to close the galleries in stages
over a much longer period of time, which would have required additional
art
handling and a much longer period of disruption for the visitor.”
No traveling exhibitions or public programs
were
scheduled for this summer, so cancellations have not been necessary.
The
museum’s internal operations will continue as usual.
