Current Status
The building is currently being used for conservation work of the collection. Only a small portion is open to the public on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Autry has a goal of moving most of the collection to a new state-of-the-art home. Plans call for the infrastructure improvements to the Southwest Museum to be completed by 2013. The Friends of the Southwest Museum continue to press the Los Angeles City Council and the board of the Autry Museum to reopen the entire facility to the public with changing exhibitions in order to fulfill the promises Autry made in the 2003 Merger Agreement.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or status:
“The current flows fast and furious. It issues in a spate of words from the loudspeakers and the politicians. Every day they tell us that we are a free people fighting to defend freedom. That is the current that has whirled the young airman up into the sky and keeps him circulating there among the clouds. Down here, with a roof to cover us and a gasmask handy, it is our business to puncture gasbags and discover the seeds of truth.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“As a work of art it has the same status as a long conversation between two not very bright drunks.”
—Clive James (b. 1939)
