Level two of the museum’s Charles Street building is currently closed due to construction.

The North Court galleries on level two of the Charles Street building are currently undergoing renovation to become the future home of Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano, opening May 2025. All of the galleries on level two of this building are temporarily closed to facilitate this work, including the North Court galleries, the South Court galleries (including the Chamber of Wonders, Arms and Armor, the Collector’s Study, and the 17th-Century Dutch Cabinet Rooms), and the Sculpture Court. The Loggia on level 3 of the Charles Street building is also closed. The North Court galleries will remain closed until the opening of Latin American Art / Arte Latinoamericano in May 2025; the other galleries will reopen in late 2024.
