Koronapandemien har rammet hardt og bredt, og mennesker og virksomheter over hele verden er berørt. Men noen er likevel rammet hardere enn andre, som turistnæring, flyselskaper og kultur- og opplevelsesnæringer.
Blant disse er verdens museer, som lever av å tiltrekkes seg store menneskemengder som ønsker å oppleve ulike former for kunst. The Economist omtaler i en artikkel en undersøkelse som har beregnet at besøkstallet ved verdens 100 mest besøkte kunstmuseer falt med 77 prosent fra 2019 til 2020:
"An annual survey published on March 30th by the Art Newspaper documents the toll the pandemic has taken. In 2019 the 100 most popular art museums globally enjoyed more than 230m visitors; in 2020 that figure fell to 54m, a drop of 77%. Cultural institutions were closed for much of the year by lockdowns, yet even when they could reopen, social-distancing measures limited them to 20-30% of their usual capacity. Not surprisingly, museums in places where the virus was managed most effectively suffered smaller decreases. Yet they still suffered. In Australia and New Zealand, museums attracted 53% fewer visitors in 2020 than in 2019. In North America and Europe, decline was far sharper: 75% and 72% respectively."
