Albany Museum of Art Temporarily Closed in Response to COVID-19

How we are responding to this health concern
Updated March 19, 2020

Following Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines, the Albany Museum of Art is closed to the public until further notice as local, state and federal officials work to minimize the adverse health impact of COVID-19.

Go here to read the AMA's March 17, 2020 statement regarding the temporary closing of the museum
 
All programming and events through the end of April have been postponed or cancelled, including the annual Spring Family Day co-hosted by the city of Albany Recreation & Parks Department, Spring Break Staycation Art Camp, Teen Art Kickback, and art workshops.
 
As decisions are made for events scheduled in May or later, they will be posted on this page and on AMA social media accounts.
 
During this period, museum staff will report to the museum as needed.
