Creating Healthy Facilities for Museum Guests

COVID-19 has forced museum operators to confront the difficult decision to keep their doors closed and continue to lose revenue or reopen and address the safety issues caused by the pandemic. Making the decision to reopen comes with a number of challenges, with guest and employee safety being at the top of the list. While facility managers in office environments, restaurants, and retail shops can focus on protecting occupants, museum operators have to also protect the objects they display. Implementing long-term solutions is key to giving guests peace of mind and preserving the valuable exhibits they come to see.
