The Allentown Art Museum is pleased to announce the next phase of its relocation. Demolition has begun at the former Allentown Police Station at 10th and Hamilton streets, the site of the future Museum. Over the next two months, TAMCO Construction Inc. will remove the remaining structure, debris, and foundations.
When it opens in late 2029, the new Art Museum will welcome more visitors and improve access for students and residents across the Lehigh Valley. The project continues to receive key support from Senator Nick Miller of the 14th Senatorial District.

“The Allentown Art Museum plays an important role in making the Lehigh Valley a more vibrant place to live, work, and visit,” said Senator Nick Miller. “Following the museum’s decision to pursue a new home, I was proud to help secure $500,000 in state funding to advance their vision for a purpose-built facility forward. The new Museum will offer expanded opportunities to serve and engage the community, and I’m excited to see this project accomplish another milestone with demolition getting underway.”
“This is a milestone moment for the project, and for the Museum,” said Max Weintraub, the Museum’s President and CEO. “The new Art Museum will be transformative, expanding our impact as a community resource, cultural destination, and gateway to downtown Allentown and the greater Lehigh Valley. It is exciting to see the Hamilton Street site being cleared and prepared for construction.”
Construction on the site is scheduled to begin in summer 2027.
