[quote=Anonymous]Possibly because they tend to pull for tourists more than most of the other museums that you mentioned— and with the pandemic, don’t want to send the message that tourism is in full swing. Also, in order to limit entry numbers they would either have to stop people at the door, or switch to a ticketing system — which would be new for most of the museums and possibly penalize people without easy access to the internet. I’m guessing that financial interest may be driving some of the other openings. Personally, I view a government institution’s indifference to public health in a different way compared to private institutions. I expect a higher standard from the Smithsonian. I also applaud the efforts of the Smithsonian Museums and others to develop creative online and other offerings. During the pandemic, I’ve actually interacted more with museums and their collections than I did previously— which was already at a pretty frequent level. [/quote]
