rothko chapel closes indefinitely following damages from hurricane beryl
Briefly

"The Chapel's continued stewardship of this beloved cultural and sacred site, renowned for its Mark Rothko panels, remains our highest priority, and the closure will ensure that the necessary repairs and restorations can be made as effectively and completely as required." - David Leslie, Executive Director.
"These works invite spiritual contemplation and engagement regardless of faith, spiritual or religious background. The Chapel had closed to the public in March 2019 to undergo restoration before re-opening to the public in 2020."
"During renovation, the skylight, lighting design and entryway were reconfigured in concert with the original concept for the space, allowing for heightened illumination and an unimpeded interaction with the artwork."
"Hurricane Beryl's exceptionally heavy rain and gale-force winds resulted in leakage through the roof, causing water damage to part of the ceiling and several walls."
