The Museum staff would like to share some additional information about the upcoming move to the former Palmer Hall dormitory.\u00a0 The completely renovated building will be the Museum\u2019s fifth home, having been previously located in the basement of Tribble Hall, Barn No. 1 in Reynolda Village, Barn No. 2 in Reynolda Village, and in its current home in the Anthropology Building since 1987.\u00a0 After more than 30 years, the Museum\u2019s staff, collections, and programming have outgrown the building.<\/p>\n

The new building will have larger and more flexible galleries, allowing student curators and staff more options in customizing the space for specific exhibits.\u00a0 It will include full-sized offices for all of the Museum staff members, a feature lacking in the current building.\u00a0 The new education classroom will be bigger to accommodate larger school groups and provide more space for programs and events.\u00a0 The Museum will gain space for a collections and curation lab, creating a dedicated area for researchers, interns, and WFU classes to interact with MOA objects.<\/p>\n

The new building will also include onsite collections storage, a feature the Museum has not had in a number of years. \u00a0The new storage area will be fitted with custom-designed movable shelving system.\u00a0 Much of the MOA\u2019s ethnographic collection will be relocated onsite to allow for easier access for exhibits, research, and WFU class use.\u00a0 Additional space in the building will be used to store exhibit cases, installation supplies, folding chairs, and other necessities, a significant improvement over the current lack of functional storage space.<\/p>\n

\"Interior

In mid- November, the Museum staff toured the building and received this first look at what will become the gallery space.<\/p><\/div>\n

The MOA plans to close to the public over the summer in order to tackle the enormous task of moving the Museum and collections and installing new exhibits.\u00a0 The MOA will continue to offer summer education programs for childcare groups, camps, and the libraries, but they will be available as outreach during the closure. \u00a0Based on the current construction schedule, the Museum will close on May 30 and reopen in the early fall.\u00a0 Because the exact timing is still variable, the Museum will make upcoming announcements about the specific reopening date.\u00a0 Rest assured, however, that the staff will be hard at work during the closure to make sure that the new building offers the very best experience for the Museum\u2019s patrons.\u00a0 Please follow the Museum on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram @wfumoa for the latest updates on the move!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
