ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「The Metropolitan Museum of Art will finally swing open its Fifth Avenue doors on Saturday, after 5 months of closure because of the coronavirus crisis. But the country’s largest museum will, in many ways, reopen as a very different Met. Perhaps most notably, the museum will now mainly be a New York institution, given the pandemic’s ongoing travel restrictions. Whereas 70% of the Met’s 7 million annual visitors were typically tourists, now the museum expects guests to be largely local residents. New rules include 25% occupancy, timed ticketing and masks. In the past, the museum could expect on a busy day more than 5,000 visitors per hour. Now, the museum will limit the crowd to an hourly rate of 2,000 and close on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The museum will also require visitors to have their temperatures taken before entry. The Met has been eager to reopen, not only for its own recovery — having projected a $150 million loss — but for the larger cultural life of New York City. “The Met plays a very important role within New York — it’s such a strong signal for getting back to a certain level of normalcy and getting back to life,” said Max Hollein, who became the Met’s director just 2 years ago.
