Inaugurated new facilities on October 17, 2009
After undergoing Phase I of its extensive renovations, El Museo del Barrio reopens to the public on Saturday, October 17, 2009, with an all-day open house celebrating the launch of the new Carmen Ana Unanue galleries to host its Permanent Collection, its expanded public programs, and our new El Café that will also serve as a multipurpose programming space, bringing a sparkling new face to the Museum Mile's only Latino institution. The reopening also marks the launch of El Museo's 40th Anniversary celebrations, which will continue all year with a rich array of exhibitions, public programming, events, and performances. Upcoming Phase II of the renovation process will include work in El Teatro and the 104th Street lobby of the Heckscher Building.
