As lockdown measures are lifted, we are now allowed to go inside other places other than our own homes and supermarkets, art galleries are back open, whether for a family outing or just a wander around to admire the art on offer.
Some smaller commercial galleries were allowed to reopen before May 17, as they’re classed as “non-essential retail” and were thus able to welcome visitors (and customers) back, as other shops were, from April 12. However, more exhibitions are now opening to give people the opportunity to experience the works that they have been deprived of for so long.

Art is back. During lockdown, of course, it never truly left. But the joys of a solo mooch around a gallery, or a family outing, were put on hold.
But now, from May 1 in some parts of the UK, and 17 May in England, the nation s galleries and art museums can welcome visitors again at last. Some smaller commercial galleries have already reopened, as they’re classed as “non-essential retail” and were thus able to welcome visitors (and customers) back, as other shops were, from April 12.
