Allentown Art Museum will reopen to the public Friday, Jan. 8.
The museum will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday through Sunday. Visitors are encouraged but not required to reserve a timed ticket in advance at AllentownArtMuseum.org.
The much-anticipated exhibition, “Rembrandt Revealed,” which spotlights the master’s 1632 painting, “Portrait of a Young Woman,” will open in the museum as planned, to members on Saturday, Jan. 23, and to the public on Sunday, Jan. 24.
The painting returns to the Lehigh Valley following conservation in New York that uncovered new information about its creation that inspired worldwide press coverage.
“Rembrandt Revealed” will be on view through May 2, after which the painting will travel to Canada for exhibition in a Rembrandt show at the National Gallery in Ottawa before returning to Allentown for a second special exhibition in the fall.
Also in January, the museum will present a week of virtual programing celebrating Martin Luther King Jr., from Jan. 16 through 22. Complete details are online.
When the doors to the galleries reopen, the Museum’s COVID safety precautions will still be in place. They include: reduced capacity and limited hours; requiring face masks; enforcing social distancing; offering hand-sanitizing stations; continuing enhanced cleaning; and daily health screenings for employees.
