In March, museums across America closed as the stay-at-home orders set in.
"The year 2020 has been a time of crisis, innovation, anxiety, and introspection for all businesses, especially museums. Large galleries in cities with reliable international tourism found travel bans nearly ruinous to their business models. Smaller regional museums discovered a surprising upside as their institutions emerged as symbols of good, collaborative creativity in their communities."
Some museums have become more popular for local residents as they come to museums for a hint of normalcy. Museums across the world have improved their digital and virtual assets. In the light of civil rights protests, some have closed down controversial exhibits, and the Baltimore Museum of Art has pledged to only accept works by female artists in the coming fiscal season.
