Construction Updates

The museum will be built at the intersection of Routes 2 and 7 in Williamstown across from the David & Joyce Milne Public Library,  the Center for Development Economics (CDE) at Williams College, and Field Park.

The new museum will have over 15,000 square feet of display space, accounting for 35% of the 52,000 net square footage of the building. Beyond galleries, additional spaces in the building will include an auditorium, art studio space, a café, study center and classrooms, as well as staff and student workspace and art storage.

The project is scheduled to break ground in fall of 2024, and to be completed in 2027, timed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the museum’s opening.

Regular work hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM. Some Saturday or extended hours may be required. If required, a notification will be sent. Please see our Construction Updates page for Monthly Construction Updates with detailed forecasted work and logistics.
