With ongoing concerns about the spread of COVID-19, commonly known as the coronavirus, The Nat is following best practices related to increased sanitization efforts, including more frequent cleanings of surfaces, additional hand sanitizing stations, and more. We are encouraging staff, volunteers, and visitors to follow recommended protocols related to staying healthy.
Our Museum remains open and we are proceeding with planned daily offerings, programs, and events.
The safety and well-being of our visitors and staff is always a priority. If you have booked a program and are concerned for the safety of your students, we will honor your program cancellation or look to reschedule at a later date.
