13% of Museums May Not Reopen after Pandemic

Welcome to the World news. World news keeps you updated news around the nations.

Today's topic is "13% of Museums May Not Reopen after Pandemic"

Research has found that an estimated 13% of museums that closed because of the coronavirus pandemic may never open again.

According to two studies, 90% of museums across the world — around 85,000 — have had to close because of the pandemic.

The studies were done by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). UNESCO and ICOM say they will use the information to find ways to support institutions after life returns to normal.

The research found that only 5% of museums in Africa and the Small Island Developing States (SIDS), like Samoa and Haiti, were able to offer online materials. But even museums with online services will see a large decrease in earnings if they can't open for visitors.

In the US, the American Alliance of Museums also says museums are losing as much as $33 million a day. A study by Americans for the Arts also found that non-profit arts and culture organizations in the US had lost about $5.5 billion by mid-May.

UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said that museums are important to the "resilience of societies. We must help them cope with this crisis and keep them in touch with their audiences."

UNESCO plans to begin discussions among international experts about how to help museums with their problems. The talks are part of its ResiliArt program, which was started to support artists affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
