With the National Museum of Mexican Art monitoring the status of COVID-19 ( coronavirus ) and implementing museum best practices and safety measures, the site has decided to postpone all public events through the end of March.

This includes events that are part of the Sor Juana Festival.

The museum plans to host all April events, but will continue to monitor the situation and follow expert recommendations. It will be open during its regular business hours: Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., and the staff is asking visitors to use the site's hand-sanitizer stations, wash their hands thoroughly and postpone visits if they are not feeling well.
