The pandemic-related closures across the United States have been tough on many businesses, including the country’s museums. According to a survey by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM) published on July 22, a third of all US museums are facing the risk of permanent closures before the end of the year.
The survey paints a grim picture — 33 percent out of 760 museums may never open again, according to museum directors, the reason being a lack of budget.
