Detroit —The Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, MOCAD, will close its main building next week until early 2026 for major renovations and a redesigned Woodward Avenue facade of the historic Midtown building.

While MOCAD's main building on 4454 Woodward Ave. shuts down on Monday until early 2026, the museum will continue some programming in its Mike Kelley Homestead, the full-scale replica of the 1950s ranch-style homeland that the renowned artist Mike Kelley grew up in Westland.

MOCAD didn't provide an opening date for the work to be completed other than early next year, according to a press statement. No one from the museum was available for comment Tuesday.

The 2,000-square-foot building is a former car dealership originally designed by Detroit industrial architect Albert Kahn.
