Museum makeover: After a nearly two-year closure for renovations, the Cape Ann Museum in downtown Gloucester is set to reopen this summer. The maritime-themed art museum announced a June 30 reopening date yesterday.
- What’s new: The renovation was paid for by a $23 million fundraising campaign. Museum Director Oliver Barker told WBUR’s Dan Guzman visitors can expect to see redesigned galleries, new lighting, enhanced security and newly donated works on display: “When the public comes back here on June 30th, they will actually get to see those many, many new acquisitions that have been made.”
