The Distributed Museum
Mortati documents the growing trend for large museums to set up satellite locations around their metropolitan areas. “Local or community museums, having spent the last six years embracing the social web and building partnerships with large institutions” she reports, “are uniquely positioned to meet the needs of their communities and have a much smaller environmental footprint.”
Limits on Assembly
The World Health Organization (WHO) and Respiratory Distress Syndrome Relief (ReDSR) issued an urgent joint recommendation that in ReDS zones all social gatherings and public assembly should be limited to group sizes of 12 or fewer. Relevant venues include all workplaces, churches, restaurants, movie theaters, sporting venues and museums.
