Next Monday, June 15, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art will begin opening to the public while following safety measures reducing the threat of COVID-19.

The Museum will only allow 100 visitors at a time to its galleries, a change made easier through timed tickets for visitors. Online ticket purchasing is encouraged, but the Museum has protocols in place to safely serve walk-up visitors. Additionally, all visitors are required to wear face masks

William Pittman Andrews, Ogden Museum Executive Director said in a press release, “We are ready to reopen and thanks to much careful preparation, we can do so confidently. We are excited to welcome our community back to Ogden Museum and share our new exhibitions, Entwined: Ritual Wrapping and Binding in Contemporary Southern Art and Revelations: Recent Photography Acquisitions, along with the exhibitions we opened before our closure, Melvin Edwards: Crossroads, presented by The Helis Foundation and What Music is Within: Black Abstraction from the Permanent Collection. To express appreciation to the healthcare workers who continue to respond to community need, Ogden Museum is offering free, one-year individual memberships to medical professionals.”
