The global coronavirus pandemic is still raging, but museums are already gathering testimony and objects by which to remember life under lockdown. “It’s such an extraordinary experience,” Beatrice Behlen, senior curator at the Museum of London, said. “So, it documents feelings, which can be very hard for museums to collect actually.”Insta-museumCurators around the world are making similar efforts to chronicle these historic times.
