Floor Refinishing Project at the Barnes

Temporary Closure of Second-Floor Galleries

Rooms 14-23 and the Mezzanine

The Barnes Foundation, renowned for its exceptional collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and early modern paintings, is temporarily closing the second-floor galleries Rooms 14-23 and the Mezzanine for a floor refinishing project. This essential work will ensure the preservation of these historic spaces and enhance the visitor experience.

The Barnes is dedicated to providing an exceptional experience for all who visit. The floor refinishing project is a necessary step to maintain the pristine condition of the galleries and safeguard the irreplaceable works of art on display. The temporary closure will allow for the careful restoration of the flooring, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy these magnificent spaces.

During the closure, visitors are encouraged to explore the first-floor galleries, which house a diverse collection of masterpieces by renowned artists such as Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh, and Matisse. The Barnes also offers a variety of educational programs, lectures, and events that will continue to be available throughout the project.
