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:
“Phlebas the Phoenician, a fortnight dead,
Forgot the cry of gulls, and the deep sea swell
And the profit and loss.
A current under sea
Picked his bones in whispers. As he rose and fell
He passed the stages of his age and youth
Entering the whirlpool.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“At all events, as she, Ulster, cannot have the status quo, nothing remains for her but complete union or the most extreme form of Home Rule; that is, separation from both England and Ireland.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
