Authorities are still struggling to contain the new Coronavirus pandemic, while many businesses and companies opting to close their doors for the sake of their employees and clients.
The official Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, has become one of them, as of Monday, March 16. Following recommendations from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention that social distancing should be practiced these days and no gatherings of over 50 people should take place, the decision has been made to shut down the Museum for a few weeks.
As of March 16 through to April 6, the Museum will remain closed to the public, a statement on the official website reads. The period could be extended at a later time, depending on future developments. So, at least until April 6, the campus, the actual museum, the Motor Bar and Restaurant, and the gift shop will be closed to the public.
“We recognize that the situation is dynamic,” the Museum says on its website. “Guests can rest assured that our staff is vigilant about keeping everyone who visits our campus safe as has been the case since we first opened. When the Harley-Davidson Museum reopens, we are confident that every measure will have been taken to provide a safe and welcoming experience for our staff and guests.”
The same statement stresses that no cases of COVID-19, the new Coronavirus, infections have been reported as of yet among visitors or regular museum staff. So the decision to temporarily halt activities is only a precaution.
Those planning a trip to Milwaukee will have to make do, for the time being, with whatever the Museum is offering online.
“In an effort to stay connected with our guests, fans and enthusiasts, the Harley-Davidson Museum website and social media channels will soon feature stories about the Museum collection and Harley-Davidson history,” the statement says. Updates on other developments concerning the Museum will also be offered on the same channels, along with the official website.
