The Corcoran Gallery of Art abruptly closed its Turner to Cézanne: Masterpieces from the Davies Collection, National Museum Wales exhibition early on Wednesday, citing concerns over the performance of a recently installed climate control system. The exhibit was originally scheduled to run through April 25.

An upgraded HVAC system was installed at the Corcoran prior to the opening of Turner to Cezanne in January, but museum officials said part of the system has been performing inconsistently. In addition, a GSA decision to suspend its steam system for several days affected the Corcoran’s ability to regulate temperatures inside the gallery, according to a statement. So as a precaution, museum staff elected to close the exhibit and remove the artwork from the overheated section of the building.

The rest of the Corcoran’s current exhibitions remain open. Anyone who bought advance tickets to Turner to Cézanne should call (202) 639-1704 to inquire about a refund.
