The campus of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art has suffered little damage from Hurricane Milton, according to a statement released on Saturday. Ca’ d’Zan sustained very little damage and no damage to its glass façade that faces Sarasota Bay, according to the statement. The Historic Circus Museum sustained roof damage and will be closed for about two weeks while repairs are underway.

The Museum of Art galleries and Tibbals Learning Center are functioning well and the collections are safe. The largest impact of the storm was the grounds, where several trees were lost and significant damage was suffered by the banyans. 

According to the statement, museum management hopes to partially reopen both the Tibbals Learning Center and the Museum of Art on Monday, with admission free to the public through Wednesday.
