The following exhibitions will remain open for viewing: Metamorphosis: Reshaping Contemporary Art; Japanese Abstraction: Highlights from the Jerry and Anne Godsey Collection; and Highlights from the Asian Collection which contains four galleries of more than 700 works showcasing the Harn’s collections of Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, and South and Southeast Asian art.

New Gallery Space and Updated Study Center
Opening Summer 2026
A renovation of administrative spaces into 3,600 new square feet of exhibition space is taking place, along with updating the nearly 1,000 square-foot-Bishop Study Center into an area that can be used more frequently by university students and classes to analyze and engage with the Harn’s collection. This renovation will allow visitors to immediately be greeted by art upon their arrival. The first exhibition in the new gallery space will be a presentation of The Florida Art Collection, which is a recent gift of 1,200 works of Florida-themed art given by Samuel H. and Roberta T. Vickers. The renovation is a partnership with UF’s Planning, Design and Construction team; an integrated design firm, DLR Group; and the general contractor, Scorpio Construction. It will be completed in summer of 2026.
