New Gallery Space and Updated Study Center
Opening Summer 2026
The Harn Museum of Art is currently open with all exhibitions and galleries accessible to visitors. Admission is free for everyone! A renovation of administrative spaces into 3,600 new square feet of exhibition space is taking place, along with updating the nearly 1,000 square-foot-Bishop Study Center into an area that can be used more frequently by university students and classes to analyze and engage with the Harn’s collection. This renovation will allow visitors to immediately be greeted by art upon their arrival. The first exhibition in the new gallery space will be a presentation of The Florida Art Collection, which is a recent gift of 1,200 works of Florida-themed art given by Samuel H. and Roberta T.

It will be completed in summer of 2026.
