New York City museums can reopen at limited capacity on Monday, Aug. 24, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said, bringing a measure of relief to cultural institutions that have been forced to close for months over the new coronavirus pandemic. Museums were originally scheduled to open in mid-July, when the state reached its fourth and final phase of reopening. But Mr. Cuomo postponed their reopening, along with those of gyms, indoor dining and movie theaters, citing concerns about the safety of indoor activities.
