Recommendations & Considerations for Re-Opening Museums – Expanded Edition

The intention of this guide is to provide cultural and heritage organizations with some points of consideration when contemplating the task of re-opening after the forced COVID-19 closure. There are four main steps that are looked at: Isolation, Staff Re-Entry, Re-Opening to the Public, and Continuous Monitoring. Each of these steps has its own considerations. This guide is not all-inclusive, each institution that has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic should approach this guide as suggestions, adapt it to what your organization has and needs. This is to give you a starting point when tackling the complex issue of re-opening.

You can view a presentation given as a part of a Zoom Community Chat on June 24, 2020 by Sarah Durham, Musuems Advisor on YouTube here.
