Rothko Chapel Free Admission Friday

Free Admission Friday from 10am to 6pm at Rothko Chapel - see INFO below. In early 1999, the Rothko Chapel closed for a major renovation. The paintings had been exhibiting premature signs of age, and the largest could not be removed for treatment. In 2000, the chapel reopened after an 18-month, 1.8 million renovation, with the artist's paintings newly restored. For its fiftieth anniversary in 2021, the Rothko Chapel underwent 30 million in restoration to hew nearer the original plan. The 2019-2021 work removed the baffled skylight in favor of a new louvered skylight designed by George Sexton Associates; re-landscaped nearby lawns and fencing; removed glass doors; and added a new visitor's center designed by Architecture Research Office More Info below.
