In the summer of 2021, the Berman Museum was awarded a $182,300 grant from the Small Business Administration. A major project made possible by the grant was the installation of new carpet in the museum. Replacing the carpet allowed the Berman Museum to implement already developing plans to renovate the exhibit halls.

​

In September and October, the second floor of Berman Museum was completely renovated. New carpet accompanied new walls, as well as a new layout and storyline. The two main galleries in this step consisted of Arts of Asia and Modern Warfare. The new Arts of Asia expanded upon the original concept introduced in 2001, separating items by nationality and explaining dynasties. Modern Warfare was also an expansion, this time on Berman Museum's previous seminal WWI and WWII galleries. Today, Modern Warfare covers WWI through the end of the 20th century.

​

In November, the first floor followed in the renovation. Like the second floor, this renovation consisted of new carpet, as well as a new layout and storyline. Becoming America highlights the development of the United States during the nineteenth century and its trials during the Civil War. Reigns and Revolutions details the history of Europe through major events and characters from Ancient Greece to the Crimean War.
