Except in the countries where they aren’t: the Uffizi in Florence welcomed all of 800 visitors when it reopened last week, and Belgium declared museums essential and let them keep operating.

Things are getting especially tense in the Netherlands, where people angrily protesting the extension of lockdowns and curfews got tear-gassed outside Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum. – Artnet
