Chicago museums to reopen, indoor dining could resume in ‘a few days’

With COVID-19 restrictions loosening up in Chicago, places like the Shedd Aquarium are getting ready to re-open their doors. Also, indoor dining at restaurants could resume in just a matter of days.

CHICAGO - The Art Institute of Chicago announced Thursday they plan to reopen to the public Feb. 11.

The museum will be open from Thursday through Monday with the hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the first hour of each day reserved for members.

The decision comes days after COVID-19 restrictions were loosened in Chicago under Tier II mitigations, allowing the reopening of museums, movie theaters and performance venues.

The Art Institute said facial coverings and social distancing will be required inside the museum. Tickets will be available online beginning next week.
