Many institutions, like the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art, have not publicly announced their reopening plans. Ms. Donhauser said in an interview on Thursday that while she supports the governor’s decision, the museum feels confident it can reopen while keeping visitors safe. She said the museum’s small size and simple layout make it easy for visitors to navigate with social distancing. The Met has said it will require masks and will also cap visitors at a quarter of the museum’s capacity. In Los Angeles, some museums opened their doors in mid-June, only to close them earlier this month after an order from Gov.
