The UK National Videogame Museum is reopening on August 22, 2020 after having been closed since March due to COVID-19.
The reopening comes alongside a number of new safety precautions being mandated by the museum, including pre-bookings, limited visiting slots, face mask requirements, sanitization procedures, and more.
Earlier this year as COVID-19 lockdowns began to take effect, there were concerns that the museum would be forced to close permanently due to a lack of funds.
However, a fundraiser for the museum (https://justgiving.com/campaign/savethenvmuk) raised over £200,000 to support the institution, well over the £80,000 fundraising goal.
