During the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, several museums worldwide had to close to the public for long periods, as governments put in place lockdowns and strict safety regulations to contain the health crisis. As a result, many museums around the world expected revenue losses in 2020. According to a November 2020 study, about 14 percent of surveyed museums in Europe believed that their revenue losses would be higher than 50 percent in 2020. Meanwhile, roughly 23 percent of the Asian institutions involved in the study predicted the same.
