Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many museums across the globe had to close to the public. As a result, museums adapted to the circumstances and offered a series of activities and services during the closure.

Meanwhile, one in six institutions involved in the research offered video lectures, either live or recorded.
