The Arizona Heritage Center announced it will remain closed until 2029.
The museum closed in May after announcing a 12-month renovation project. It will now remain closed through 2027 and 2028 to help replace and restore the building.
“Ultimately, the projects completed within this period will result in a renewed facility, one that is better suited to meet the operational needs of the Historical Society, the educational and engagement wishes of its public audiences, and the stewardship standards mandated by the material history under its care,” Dr. David Breeckner, executive director of the Arizona Historical Society, said in a statement.

The Arizona Heritage Center announced it will remain closed until 2029.
The museum closed in May after announcing a 12-month renovation project. It will now remain closed through 2027 and 2028 to help replace and restore the building.
“Ultimately, the projects completed within this period will result in a renewed facility, one that is better suited to meet the operational needs of the Historical Society, the educational and engagement wishes of its public audiences, and the stewardship standards mandated by the material history under its care,” Dr. David Breeckner, executive director of the Arizona Historical Society, said in a statement.
Guests can expect new technology, exhibits and interactive units in the new museum.
Other work is expected to extend into 2029, as museum curators and historians expect to spend time at the design and capacity of the archives.
The AZ Historic Society will be on the road visiting various sites in Arizona while the museum is closed.
