Seis instituciones volverán a recibir visitantes a partir del 14 de agosto y hasta septiembre

Seis instituciones del Distrito de las Artes de Dallas y del centro de la ciudad anuncian hoy conjuntamente sus planes de reabrir sus puertas y dar de nuevo la bienvenida a los visitantes, tras permanecer cerradas desde mediados de marzo. El Museo de Arte de Dallas y el Museo del Holocausto y los Derechos Humanos de Dallas abrirán al público el 14 de agosto; el Centro de Escultura Nasher abre sus puertas el 20 de agosto. El mes siguiente, el Crow Museum of Asian Art abrirá sus puertas el 18 de septiembre, el Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza lo hará a mediados de septiembre (la fecha exacta está por determinar) y el Perot Museum of Nature and Science confirmará pronto su fecha de reapertura. Los seis museos han colaborado estrechamente durante varios meses para determinar las fechas de reapertura adecuadas y las nuevas medidas para garantizar la salud y la seguridad de su personal y de todos los visitantes. Según las directrices de reapertura del Dallas Arts and Culture, anunciadas anteriormente, todo el personal y los visitantes deben llevar mascarillas y cada centro ha añadido puestos de desinfección, entre otros protocolos de seguridad.

En una declaración conjunta, los museos afirman: "Desde que cerramos en marzo, todos hemos trabajado juntos para preparar los días en que podamos volver a recibir visitantes con seguridad. Los últimos cinco meses han sido tiempos de cambios significativos. Como instituciones culturales, reconocemos nuestro papel único como lugares donde los visitantes encuentran consuelo, alegría y conexión. Estamos entusiasmados por reabrir finalmente nuestros espacios a la comunidad".

We offer several outdoor areas, including a Courtyard and Terrace where guests can enjoy fresh air and remove their masks if needed. While the entire museum is open, we are particularly excited to encourage our guests to visit our Pivot to America Wing, which explores the journey for civil rights in America, and our current special exhibition, The Fight for Civil Rights in the South, a moving photographic exhibit that chronicles the African American struggle for civil rights and social equality in the 1960s, including the burning of the Freedom Riders bus and the Marzo from Selma to Montgomery.
