The Louisiana Children’s Museum moves to virtual and offsite programs beginning Monday August 17.
LCM CEO Julia Bland said in a statement, “Closing for daily visits is an extremely difficult but necessary business decision. Many of you have expressed your confidence and appreciation for the extensive health and safety protocols we have put in place, however there are many families who are not quite ready to venture out in the numbers we need to deliver a quality experience and support our daily operation.”
Until August 16, the museum will be open Wednesday – Sunday 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Advanced reserved tickets are required.
“While our doors will be closed, LCM will remain active and engaged with our members and families,” said Bland. “We will find new, meaningful and innovative ways to deliver our mission in the weeks and months ahead as we count down the days until we can gather together, hug one another, and focus on creating joy for children and families within our Museum once again.”
The decision to close comes just two months after the museum reopened under Phase 2 safety guidelines.
