The History Center

If the museum needs to be closed to the public for two weeks: We’re a tiny staff.  The facilities manager will visit the site daily to make sure there are no structural/operational/physical plant issues.  I will get the mail, run payroll, etc. Most of our bills are paid online.

If the museum was closed for a period of time, could your staff work from home or how would your museum handle this?  All our full-time staff have laptops, and all have internet connectivity at their respective homes.  We can continue to conduct most business remotely.  We were nomadic for almost three years, so we’re quite ready to do it again.

How are you mitigating the spread of germs while open? Our facilities manager is purchasing antiseptic wipes and sprays.  These will be used in public areas, and we’ll be judicious in using them anywhere near the exhibits.  We might purchase masks and gloves for staff, but if it comes to that, we’ll simply close until the pandemic has abated.
