The Oklahoma City Museum of Art said its exhibition 'Dale Chihuly: The Oklahoma Collection' will be temporarily closed from August 10 through 18 while staff carry out improvements to the installation. According to the museum, the exhibition on the first floor will receive Spanish-translated text for works on view, along with additional comfortable seating.
The update was announced as a routine exhibition notice, but it points to an ongoing effort to make the presentation more accessible for visitors. No other changes to the exhibition were specified in the museum’s post.
'Dale Chihuly: The Oklahoma Collection' is presented at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, which shared the closure notice through its public channels. The museum identified the closure period as a short pause in access rather than a full reset or replacement of the exhibition.
The notice also encouraged visitors to see the exhibition before the temporary closure begins. The museum did not announce any alteration to the exhibition’s content beyond the addition of translated wall text and seating.
Chihuly, a widely recognized glass artist, is the subject of the museum’s current display, which carries the title 'Dale Chihuly: The Oklahoma Collection.' The museum’s announcement did not include further details about the scope of the works on view or any related programming.
The exhibition is scheduled to close for the update period from August 10 through 18 at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art.
