Officials say the museum sites will reopen in phases, beginning by operating only from Thursday through Sunday with limited and timed visitation.
Hands-on activities will no longer be available at museum sites to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Patrons are required to wear masks to enter the museum, but will be able to remove them in certain areas if social distancing is observed.
The museum previously canceled their 2020 Summer Camps and laid off 1,400 employees due to the pandemic.
