Huntsville Museum of Art to Temporarily Close for HVAC System Upgrade

 

Huntsville, Ala. –  The Board of Trustees and Christopher J. Madkour, Executive Director of the Huntsville Museum of Art, have announced that the museum will temporarily close its doors from March 2 through June 2025 to install a state-of-the-art HVAC system. This crucial upgrade highlights the museum’s dedication to protecting its priceless artworks and ensuring that visitors have the best possible experience.
“This investment is a testament to our unwavering commitment to preserving the artistic treasures that make our museum a cultural cornerstone of Huntsville,” Madkour said. “We understand the temporary closure may be an inconvenience, but we are confident this upgrade will enhance the museum experience for years to come. We appreciate your patience and support during this important transition.”
Controlling temperature and humidity is vital for preserving the treasures that inspire and connect the community. The new system will help maintain an environment where art, history, and culture can flourish for generations to come.
Although this is a temporary pause, the museum is looking forward to the future. The museum is a shared space for all, and ongoing support enables growth and improvement. The museum will reopen in June with a refreshed space, eager to welcome visitors back to the art they cherish.
