News From the Interior Museum

 

While the Interior Museum is temporarily closed for this next phase of the modernization of the building, there are still Museum Programs and Building and Mural Tours.  At least once a month the InteriorMuseum will host a speaker or presentation to be held within the Main Interior building.

 

Discover the art and architecture that made the Main Interior Building a "symbol of a new day" during the Great Depression. The Interior Museum Murals Tour lasts an hour and visits photographic murals by Ansel Adams and many of the over fifty murals by artists including Maynard Dixon, Allan Houser, Gifford Beal, and John Steuart Curry. Appointments can be made by calling 202.208.4743.

 

Special Assistance - For those in need of special assistance (such as an interpreter for the hearing impaired) or inquiries regarding the accessible entrance, please notify museum staff at (202) 208-4743 in advance of the program.  Special needs will be accommodated whenever possible.
