- Removal of all objects that are frequently touched, including touchable exhibits and screens.
- Regular cleaning of touched surfaces, doorknobs, etc.
- Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the Museum.
- Timed ticketing will ensure lower occupancy and will allow social distancing within the Museum.

EXCITED FOR OPENING
The Museum staff has been working to continue providing fun learning experiences digitally through its Discovery Lab Online Program. That same team has been working to create new, safe experiences in the Museum. President Van A. Romans puts it, “We are so excited to finally reopen our doors to the Fort Worth community. I can’t wait to see happy families experiencing our Museum in a way that is both safe and fun.”
Members, in particular, have been fantastic in supporting the Museum during the closure. As Denise Wilkerson, Director of Development, explains, “We want to thank our members for their patience and support during this unique time. We want to create a fun welcome-back experience for our members, with exclusive access and programs.”
