Andrew M. Cuomo announced last week that museums could reopen as soon as Aug. 24, at 25 percent capacity and with timed ticketing in place. Face coverings will be necessary and museums will be required to control the flow of traffic through their halls. The Brooklyn Museum’s opening weekend festivities, some of which will be outdoors, will include musical performances, chalk drawing and food offerings from local vendors on its plaza. The museum will also debut a sunset outdoor screening series Sept. 9, with video works from artists in its collection. The museum will also offer socially distant outdoor yoga and meditation events at 10 a.m. on Sept. 19 and on Sept. 26.
