In fall 2009 The Textile Museum will open an expansion site,
dedicated to exhibitions and educational activities, in downtown
Washington, D.C. in close proximity to the National Mall.
This new 23,400-square-foot venue, located at 421 7th Street,
NW, almost doubles the Museum's space overall.
The Textile
Museum's current location at S Street will remain open to
the public through the remainder of 2008. Plans for programming
at S Street in 2009 are in development.
As the
Museum opens its new space at 7th Street, exhibitions will
cease at the S Street location. The majority of the Museum's
educational programs will also move to the 7th Street facility.
Moving the public face of The Textile Museum to the 7th Street
location will enable the Museum to present larger and more
varied temporary exhibitions and public programs as well as
a significantly expanded shop, all of which will be more accessible
to a broader audience.
Public
access to the Museum's renowned Arthur D. Jenkins Library,
as well as scholarly access to the collections, will continue
to be offered at S Street even after the 7th Street site has
opened.
We hope
you share our excitement for this new phase of The Textile
Museum's dynamic growth. Visit this webpage often, as information
will constantly be added as the project progresses. Also
sign up for The
Textile Museum's E-Friends
to receive updates on the second site, exhibitions,
public programs, special promotions and more!
