Celebrate Museums and Galleries Month With These Online Events

If you’ve been missing museums this quarantine, that must be especially true this October, which is Museums and Galleries Month. In the past years, this month usually means various festivities, from art fairs to summits. While physical gatherings and visiting these cultural spaces are still off-limits because of the pandemic, you can still celebrate with the National Commission for Culture and the Arts’ (NCCA) online events!

This year, the Museums and Galleries Month theme is “Engaging Exhibitions for Emerging Generations.” So, the NCCA stated that the events they organized “will highlight the issues of interpretation, exhibition design, and visitor experience.”
