You may not immediately recognize the new + improved Ashley Gibson Barnett Museum of Art, but trust us, you’re going to love the fresh look.

Set to be complete in January 2025, the multi-year expansion and renovation includes:

  • 14,000 additional square feet of gallery, classroom, and art laboratory space in the primary building.
  • All new galleries to triple the Museum’s current major exhibition space.
  • Entryway renovations and improvements throughout.

Best of all: The AGB will still be 100% free to visit and enjoy.
