Free Sundays at museums return on April 3 after two-year hiatus

With the end of the state of emergency for the Covid-19 pandemic, free Sundays at museums, which had actually been suspended since March 2020, or the beginning of the Covid emergency, also return. The first “pandemic” Sunday was March 1, 2020, and had been suspended by the Ministry of Culture precisely because of the coronavirus. Later, in September, when the initiative was to resume, the Ministry of Health, having heard the MiC, nevertheless decided to extend the suspension indefinitely because of the risk of contagion.

The suspension is now over and from Sunday, April 3, it will be possible to return to free visits to state museums on the first Sunday of the month. Asking cultural institutes to be ready was the general director of museums, Massimo Osanna, with a circular sent in the past few hours and immediately taken up by the museums, which this morning began at the drop of a hat to announce free admission for next Sunday (no official announcements have yet arrived from the MiC, however). It is news that will surely please lovers of this initiative and marks a further step toward a return to normalcy.
