Museums in a Pandemic Context | And Now?
The Museum of Angra contacted the various parish councils to request testimonies on how local authorities are dealing with the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The aim is, in the future, to be able to document, through text and images, how the island responded to the pandemic.
The institution remains in operation, having adapted its activities to new technologies.
There was also greater use of social media, fostering engagement with visitors through the sharing of photographs of the museum’s pieces along with their descriptions.
