Temporary Closure: Health & Safety During COVID-19

Temporary Closure

The Rothko Chapel and new Suzanne Deal Booth Welcome House are currently closed due to COVID-19. We will open at a limited capacity when it is safe to do so.

As we plan for reopening our public spaces and welcoming you back to our site when it is safe to do so, we recognize that each of us plays a critical role in creating a safe and healthy environment. We have created the following guidelines and practices based on recommendations by the CDC, local, and state governments that will help to ensure the health and safety of visitors and staff.

Keep Connected & Engaged

In conjunction with the Houston Museum District, the Chapel will refrain from hosting in-person public programs, tours, gatherings, and private events until it is safe to do so. In the meantime, we will offer virtual public programs and opportunities for engagement, including the curated playlists of past public programs listed below. Visit our calendar to learn more about upcoming programs and opportunities.
