We’ve been busy these last few years with building and preserving our collections. Over the next several months, you’ll find changes both big and small on your visits to the Museum, as we reinstall our historical collections in new spaces and in new ways. We’re excited to share what we’ve been working on: throughout the museum, you’ll discover fascinating stories, surprising connections, and thoughtful presentations, all featuring the Speed’s world-class collection of art. This new installation showcases the Museum’s celebrated 19th and 20th-century collections, installed in new arrangements, with updated scholarship, freshly-conserved artworks, and exciting new acquisitions.
