Easy come, easy go – just as the Renwick Gallery reopens – the awesome Freer Gallery will be closing:
“We are closing the Freer Gallery from January 4, 2016, through 2017 for long-needed upgrades to our infrastructure. The renovation also is an opportunity to re-present our collections and to improve the visitor experience throughout the museums. The Sackler Gallery will remain open and as dynamic as ever, with events held both in the museum and at venues throughout the DC area.
Don’t miss special events celebrating the Freer before its brief hiatus!
