“In recognition of the Cuyahoga County Board of Health advisory
and to ensure the health and safety of both visitors and staff,
the Cleveland Museum of Art will close at the end of the day on
Thursday, November 19, and reopen once the advisory expires,”
said William Griswold, director of the Cleveland Museum
of Art. “The museum hopes to open its doors again in
mid-December. We plan to retain our current staff throughout the
period we are closed and we will continue to offer a full slate
of programs online and on social media.”
The museum was previously shuttered from mid-March until June
30. Prior to reopening, it established
an internal task force and consulted with a board-certified
epidemiologist and peer institutions across the country to
establish coronavirus protocols and site-specific safety
measures. The CMA will
continue to monitor the situation and comply with all guidelines
issued by state and local authorities and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
Visitors can
still engage with the CMA virtually by means of its dynamic,
online programming. Titled Home
is Where the Art Is, these efforts showcase the museum’s
globally recognized digital resources and feature a variety of
newly created, fun and engaging programs for people of all ages.
With this initiative, the CMA has leveraged
the latest technology to bring works of art to a range of
audiences, responding to changing needs in new, enriching and
innovative ways.
