Dear Friends:
Bennington Museum is entrusted with the care of objects that help tell stories, encourage connection, and engender critical thinking for our visitors. Core to this mission is the preservation, protection, and meaningful interpretation of our collections.
To that end, this winter the Museum began the renovation of many of our critical infrastructure systems, such as security, lighting, climate control, and internal technology. When kept in good working order, these often unnoticed, behind-the-scenes mechanics ensure the longevity of the objects, artworks, and archives in our care and allow this community trust to live on for decades to come.
Moving into the month of March, objects and exhibition areas will be rotated and refreshed while we mirror our systems investment with more public facing improvements. When we welcome you back in April, you will notice an expanded orientation lobby, updated Museum signage, and new and rejuvenated flooring in several of our galleries and the Paresky wing.
All the while, we are still busy putting on top notch programs, both virtual and in-person, to keep you entertained and enlightened until we open our doors once more this spring.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
-Martin Mahoney
Executive Director
