Safety protocol for the reopening of museums

Museum Helmond wants to ensure that its visitors visit the museum safely and that its employees can work there safely and in a responsible manner. After all, nothing beats the sensory experience of “the real encounter” with art and heritage. To this end, a protocol for the safe and responsible reopening of museums has been drawn up by the Museum Association, to which Museum Helmond also complies. The Museum Association is the trade association of more than 400 museums in the Netherlands.

Why a protocol?

The aim of the protocol for safe and responsible reopening of museums is that visitors can safely enter the museum. And that volunteers, employees and suppliers who do not belong to the risk groups of the Corona virus can safely do their work in the museum. The measures in the protocol are intended to prevent new infections with the Corona virus and to limit the consequences.
