New York. After an almost seven-month Corona break, the Guggenheim Museum in New York has reopened. For the restart, the exhibition center on Central Park showed abstract expressionist works on Saturday (local time) as well as a show on a mural by the US artist Jackson Pollock (1912-1956). In addition, the exhibition “Countryside, the Future” can be seen in the famous rotunda, which was designed by, among others, the Dutch star architect Rem Koolhaas.
Visitors must buy tickets for the Guggenheim Museum online in advance. Fewer people are allowed into the exhibition rooms at the same time than before the epidemic, and distance rules and a mask requirement apply.
New York museums have been allowed to reopen since the end of August
Since the end of August, the New York museums, almost all of which have been closed since March, have been allowed to reopen under strict conditions. The Metropolitan Museum, the Whitney Museum and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), among others, have already done this. The corona crisis is hitting the city’s cultural industry, which was one of the world’s worst scenes for the epidemic in spring.
