Amon Carter Museum Library Projects

Many of you know that the Library staff, along with most other Museum departments, have been moved to a temporary offsite facility while the expansion project is completed. Library staff are using the downtime to focus on a few projects, including creating collection-level records for our ephemera files, completing a periodical retrospective conversion project, and reorganizing the auction catalog collection for better access. Thanks to all of you who have shared your advise and expertise on these projects.

Building expansion program continues on schedule at the Amon Carter Museum

Construction is on schedule at the Amon Carter Museum with the ongoing demolition of the additions completed in 1964 and 1977 located at the rear of the original 1961 building. Once the demolition is complete, construction will begin on a new, expanded addition to the 1961 building that will more than triple the total size of gallery space and accommodate a new library. To shield the construction site, a tall fence has been built around the perimeter of the Museum that will feature mural paintings completed by museum members, staff, and family.
