Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the reopening of our magnificent Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts.

The museum, located in downtown Little Rock, reopened on April 22 after almost four years since closing for renovation and expansion.

After years of planning, the museum has been reimagined into a beautiful work of art itself.

The architecture firm, Studio Gang, led the design which preserves historic elements of the building but includes other critical, interesting, and tasteful elements, making it into one of the most influential museums in the country.

The museum has much to offer, from the visual and performing arts, to full art educational experiences.

The goal is to create a cultural space where our community can engage with a diverse portfolio of artistic perspectives and come together to see beautiful temporary exhibitions and participate in the wonderful array of educational courses.

I thank all involved for their efforts in making this renovation possible and congratulate the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts for this new chapter in their history in our state.
