The Museum of Surgical Science is now open. On Jan. 23, the Field Museum will open. On Jan 30, the Shedd Aquarium will open. On Monday, January 18, Chicago officially moved into Tier 2 of the Illinois Resurgence Mitigation Plan. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) had implemented the plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Under the Tier 2 mitigation, Chicago’s museums and art institutes are allowed to reopen at 25% capacity. Indoor gatherings of 10 or fewer people are also once again permitted.
