In response to COVID-19, Ohio museums are navigating uncharted territory. With many temporary closings, event postponements and other cancellations, museums are trying to keep engaged with their public while encouraging social distancing, navigating unique staff work situations, and working through how to take care of their teams both professionally and personally.
The situation regarding the virus is rapidly changing, and we all continue to monitor the guidance and recommendations of health and government officials.
