“We are made to be open. We are built to honor, inspire and enlighten, ”Marskell told Global News.

“When the news was official yesterday, if we had been together, we would have just fought enthusiastically so that we could be operational again.”

During the break, TheMuseum put up some new exhibits with the idea of keeping away from them, in a place that usually offers a lot of sensory possibilities.

“We chose these because you didn’t have to touch some of them to immerse yourself.”

Marskell said TheMuseum could take up to 800 people under provincial guidelines, but it will take a walk before it nears its long-awaited reopening.

“Of course, we pay attention to security and not just security and we know that it is safe because we have cleaned it, but also to the feeling of security of our visitors and guests,” said the CEO.

“So we offer season tickets, but only around 125 for one entry that you can enter at any time during these two hours.”

In addition, many after-events such as Christmas parties and weddings took place here.

“So there is a window for us to start doing things like this,” he remarked.

“What is really encouraging is that people call us and we get inquiries about weddings, corporate parties and different types of rentals.”
