New York Events at Smaller Venues Go On New York Arts Institutions Closed Because of Coronavirus
(32 minutes later)
Updated March 16Updated March 16
After Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York announced a statewide ban on most gatherings of more than 500 people on Thursday in response to the coronavirus outbreak, many cultural institutions shut their doors. Broadway performances were halted and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim, the Metropolitan Opera and Carnegie Hall were among first arts centers to announce shutdowns. Broadway and several other major cultural institutions in New York said last week that they would close temporarily in an effort to curtail the spread of the coronavirus.
But some presenters were still open, especially smaller venues that fall beneath the 500-person threshold. Other organizations were offering live streams, online content or visits by appointment. Here is a brief list of cultural attractions that remain open, in one form or another, in New York City. The announcement came as Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered restrictions on public gatherings and called for social distancing. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Opera, Carnegie Hall and the New York Philharmonic were among the first major institutions to shutter in an effort to help prevent exposure. The New York, Queens and Brooklyn libraries are closed as of Monday and public programming and events are suspended.
