This week our construction team started the CMU wall to house the elevator. Our Museum staff also met with Peter Quinn Architect’s design team to review and approve finishes for our millworker. We picked a really clean color for the cabinets in the kitchenette and multi-purpose room. They’re going to look great with the floor tile and wall colors we’ve chosen! We’re still working out the details for the reception desk to make sure it not only serves our needs but those of our visitors. We started walking through all the details from finishes to where the electrical outlets should live. More details to come.

This was also a busy week for installing our next exhibit, Somerville Open Studios Last Look Show. The Somerville Open Studios (SOS) team did a fantastic job of hanging all the pieces and we can’t wait for opening day – this Saturday, June 5th! For this show you won’t need to preregister for a timed slot, though we will have some restrictions on occupancy. Admission is free to all since it’s sponsored by SOS (donations to the Museum are always welcome). You will still need to wear your mask inside the space to protect those visitors who have not yet been vaccinated. Please also note that we do not have a public restroom at this time since we’re in the middle of construction. Click here to learn more.
