The Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Art closed to the public Monday in preparation for a series of renovations that will keep the museum closed until improvements are finished in the fall, the museum said.

Contractors will renovate storage areas so the museum will have space for holdings and future growth. They also hope to solve some problems with acoustics,
