Announcement: Acquisitions Hiatus Summer 2024–2027

HMA announces an acquisitions and loan hiatus from summer 2024 through 2027 due to our upcoming museum move.

Did you hear? HMA is moving! HMA will need to spend the upcoming three years packing, moving, and unpacking everything in the Bristol Collections Research Center and settling into our new location at One Davol Square in the Providence Jewelry District. This work prevents us from accepting any new collection donations or making new loans beginning in summer 2024. We expect to resume normal registration work in the fall of 2027. Please plan accordingly. Access to existing collections is not impacted at this time (July 2024) but may be impacted in future.
