With the majority of cultural institutions forced to close their doors, the museum and cultural sectors have been most affected. Despite the challenges posed by this unprecedented crisis, many cultural institutions and professionals have continued to serve as a source of resilience and support to communities, envisioning new strategies to provide access to culture and education in the context of containment measures. UNESCO has launched a study to assess, based on contributions from states and museum professionals, the cumulative impact of COVID-19 on museums and museum-like institutions. This initiative also seeks to understand how the sector has adapted to the constraints imposed by the pandemic and to explore ways of supporting affected institutions in the aftermath of the crisis. According to the survey it is found that museums have been particularly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with nearly 90% of them, or more than 85,000 institutions worldwide, having closed their doors during the crisis. The effect of these closures is not only economic but also social. Museums play a vital role in our societies, preserving our common heritage, it also provides spaces that promote education, inspiration, and dialogue. Based on values of respect and cultural diversity, museums strengthen social inclusion, promote creativity, and are conveyors of collective memory. Moreover, their role in the promotion of tourism is a key driver of sustainable economic development, both locally and nationally, which will be essential to overcoming the crisis in the coming months and years. The present paper's objective is to highlight how museums revitalize in the times of COVID-19. However, the recent COVID-19 pandemic has devastated the sources of revenue. As well as museums have overcome the short-term financial impact of COVID-19 but how they will manage and face the challenges of operating in a post- COVID-19 in the future.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
