Menil Collection to close main museum until fall 2018

HOUSTON – The Menil Collection is closing its main museum building for several months, starting Monday.

The closure of the main museum building at 1533 Sul Ross St. is to make updates and repairs, including floor fixes, new drywall, lighting and fire detection sensors. 

The building is slated to reopen in the fall.

Menil officials say although the main building will temporarily close, other buildings and green spaces will remain open to the public with regular hours. These spaces include the Cy Twombly Gallery, Dan Flavin Installation at Richmond Hall, Byzantine Fresco Chapel, Menil Bookstore, Menil Park and Bistro Menil.
