PGAV Guide to re-opening public galleries in Victoria
To reopen, galleries are required to have a COVID-19 Safety Plan that details how the gallery will reopen responsibly and comply with Government and public health authority guidelines, physical distancing and containment measures.
The PGAV has prepared this resource to guide galleries in this process with the aim of preventing the spread of COVID-19 and protecting staff, volunteers and visitors against infection.
The PGAV acknowledges the support of Museums & Galleries Queensland, Museums & Galleries of NSW and Conservator, Christine Ianna in preparing this resource.
