Construction and Temporary Closures
Ongoing Southern Campus Construction
Construction of the Menil Drawing Institute and extension of West Main Street is underway in the southern part of the Menil campus. Construction will affect access to the 1500 block of West Main Street from either east or west directions. Please be mindful of construction signage, flagmen, and the possibility of road closures in the surrounding area.
2018 Temporary Public Closure of Main Museum Building
In order to carry out necessary updates and repairs, the Menil Collection will close the main museum building located at 1533 Sul Ross Street for several months in 2018. The Menil expects to close the building on Monday, February 26, after the conclusion of the exhibition Mona Hatoum: Terra Infirma, and will reopen the building to the public in autumn 2018.
During this time, our other buildings and green spaces will remain open to the public. For more on the Menil neighborhood, visit the campus page.
In addition, the library and archives will remain open to researchers with minimal disruption, and they can continue making appointments, as usual. Visit the library page and archives page for more information.
