studio museum harlem close sprinkler emergency 1234770961

The Studio Museum in Harlem was forced to evacuate visitors and close for the weekend after a sprinkler emergency caused water to leak from a ceiling near the gift shop. The incident occurred on Friday, January 24, 2025, during preparations for a winter storm that brought heavy snow and freezing temperatures to Manhattan. A museum spokesperson confirmed that no artworks or galleries were affected, and the museum planned to reopen on Wednesday, January 28. The museum had recently reopened in November 2024 in a new building designed by David Adjaye's firm.

Harlem’s Studio Museum reopening was a fitting reflection of its history and work

The Studio Museum in Harlem reopened in November 2025 after a seven-year reconstruction, unveiling a new building designed by Adjaye Associates and Cooper Robertson that incorporates architectural elements of Harlem, such as masonry-framed windows and a staircase evoking brownstone stoops. The reopening featured a major exhibition highlighting alumni from its renowned artist-in-residence program, which began in 1968 with Tom Lloyd as the first recipient. Founded by Charles E. Innis and a coalition of artists, activists, and philanthropists, the museum has long served as a nexus for artists of African descent, expanding the canon of Black art during the civil rights and Black Power movements.
