Area museums are beginning to consider plans for reopening over one year after closing doors to protect staff, volunteers and patrons from the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the lengthy closures, museums have not been completely void of activity as they find ways to safely connect with their communities and maintain facilities.
For the Greater Southwest Historical Museum, director Wes Hull wants to wait for guidance to be further relaxed before reopening. He said social distancing can be difficult in the museum and Military Memorial Museum but thinks visitors could return by this summer.
“Of course it’s going to depend day-to-day on how it happens...we’re looking at late May, early June possibly trying to get open again,” Hull said on Thursday.
