Museums Close As Pandemic Spreads: Art Institute of Chicago and the Milwaukee Art Museum
First, from an email that I received on Tuesday November 17th from the Art Institute of Chicago:
Since reopening in late July, the Art Institute has warmly—and safely—welcomed visitors back to the galleries to experience firsthand the transformative power of art.
However, due to the governor’s new directives for the state of Illinois, the museum will immediately be closed to visitors.
We will continue to work with local and state public health departments and will keep you updated on any new developments, including information about reopening.
In the meantime, please stay in touch through our website and social media channels. We’ll continue to develop content that fulfills our mission to foster the exchange of ideas and inspire an expansive, inclusive understanding of human creativity.
In the meantime take advantage of their online features and information. Their website is: https://www.artic.edu/
And this morning, the Milwaukee Business Journal published an article that the Milwaukee Art Museum would close until January 2, 2021 due to concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Milwaukee Art Museum announced it will close to the public beginning Thursday through at least Jan. 2, 2021, as a result of rising Covid-19 cases in the city of Milwaukee.
While the facility is closed to the public, art museum staff will work from home to continue virtual art museum engagements. The museum is encouraging visitors to view its content online with virtual tours of gallery spaces, interviews with artists and art projects for families.
And so you can keep tabs and utilize their online features, the MAM website is: http://mam.org/
Editor’s Note: this afternoon I also received notification that the Milwaukee Public Museum and the Cleveland Museum Of Art are closing for a period of time due to the pandemic. MPM didn’t provide an anticipated opening date, while CMA hopes to reopen on December 17th, 2020.
