The museum has been closed for the past 10 months for an extensive $10 million renovation to replace the HVAC system. The 40-year-old system was replaced with a new more energy efficient system that is expected to save costs and better preserve the museum's art collection.

Purchase will kick off the reopening with the exhibit "Pre-Columbian Remix: The Art of Enrique Chagoya, Demián Flores, Rubén Ortiz-Torres, and Nadín Ospina." The exhibit features 90 pieces of art, including stone sculptures, lithographs, large-scale paintings, platinum and cyanotype prints, and a large outdoor inflatable sculpture. The exhibit will be on display from April 28 to July 14.

The public is invited to the celebration, which will last from 1 to 4 p.m. In addition to the exhibit, there will be Latin jazz, food, drinks and activities for the whole family.
