The three-month project will improve climate control for the museum's collections, increase energy efficiency and provide a more comfortable environment for visitors and staff, officials said in an announcement.
The work comes as the museum celebrates its 50th anniversary. (Their gala was last night.)
During the closure, the museum will continue offering online programming and in-person events through partnerships with neighborhood organizations. Its shop will also remain available online.
The museum expects to reopen at the end of January with "Pedagogies of War," a multimedia and sound exhibition by contemporary Ukrainian artists and filmmakers Roman Khimei and Yarema Malashchuk.
