Winter Storm Brings Art to a Halt in NYC
Museums across the city and the area will remain closed today.
As Winter Storm Hernando barrels across parts of the East Coast, museums are among the numerous institutions closing their doors to the public amid severe weather.
In New York, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani has instituted a temporary travel ban, major museums have shuttered for the day, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which had remained open during the last major snowstorm in January.
Among the other New York museums that closed for the day are the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA PS1, the Museum of the City of New York, the Jewish Museum, the Cooper Hewitt Museum, and the National Museum of the American Indian.
Also closed today are Dia Beacon in Upstate New York, The Aldrich in Connecticut, Mass MoCA, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, and others. Meanwhile, all Smithsonian museums remain open in Washington, DC.
