#CongressSaveCulture for the sake of #MuseumTwitter & museums everywhere. 🙏.
Every day, museums and cultural institutions are collectively losing $33 million as a result of COVID-19 closures. This is not just about us at The Met––this is about our community of cultural organizations across the nation. But we need your help. ⬇️.#CongressSaveCulture
