The Masur Museum of Art proudly presents:

 

 The Lab

On View Through March 1, 2018

Tuesdays & Thursdays 9am – 12pm & 1pm – 4pm

 

Next time you visit the Masur Museum of Art you will see some changes. In late April there was a fire in our permanent collection storage facility. As a result we are postponing our regularly scheduled exhibitions until spring 2018. In the meantime we are transforming some of our exhibition spaces into a temporary storage facility and conservation lab. This exhibition as an art conservation lab will be open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning on July 20th. Visitation hours are 9am – 12pm and 1 – 4 pm. Signage and didactic materials will be continually updated and improved. Please come see what we are up to in The Lab. 

We will also have two pop up exhibitions beginning August 29, 2017 located at the museum in our lower level galleries. More details soon! 

 

In conjunction with The Lab, we are rolling out a public art initiative with the goal of putting more great arts entertainment and education front and center in Northeast Louisiana. Called Alt-Ex, short for Alternative Exhibitions, the initiative will feature pop up exhibitions, small-scale public art projects, and off-site artist demonstrations. The first two Alt-Ex projects will be on view at the Outside Gallery adjacent to Art Alley downtown, and also in The Upstairs Gallery located on Art Alley Road.   Follow the Masur Museum of Art on Instagram @masurmuseum and on Facebook @masurmuseumofart for more information. Exhibition listing for Alt-Ex can be found on masurmuseum.org.
