This event has passed.

In the interest of ensuring the safety of our community, El Museo del Barrio has made the decision to temporarily close, effective Friday, March 13 at 6pm. Albeit difficult, we arrived to this conclusion, bearing in mind what is best for the health and wellness of our visitors and staff, which is our top priority. The Museum’s administrative offices will remain open with remote access by staff. With this closure, El Museo del Barrio will also be postponing all programming, until further notice.
