UK museums are rolling out the welcome mats again after a five-month hiatus, but don’t expect the pre-pandemic vibe! 🦠 From London’s iconic Natural History Museum (NHM) to regional galleries, venues are embracing a ‘new normal’ with timed entry slots, mandatory masks, and social distancing.
NHM’s meteorite curator Helena Bates called reopening preparations \"a fun challenge,\" adding, \"People are excited to escape lockdown fatigue and experience something inspiring.\" 🔭 Visitors must pre-book slots online—no spontaneous walk-ins allowed!
While the return of cultural spaces sparks hope for travelers and locals alike, lingering COVID-19 risks mean museums are prioritizing safety over crowds. 🚨 Will this hybrid model stick? Stay tuned!
