Frankfurt / Kassel / Darmstadt (dpa / lhe) – After further relaxation of the corona restrictions, museums in Hesse are working towards their opening – however, specific dates are often still missing. “We have been preparing for the reopening of the houses for days now, and will come forward on Monday for the specific date for the Städel Museum, for the Liebieghaus sculpture collection and for the Schirn,” said a spokeswoman for the Städel Museum in Frankfurt on Saturday.
The Hessian State Chancellery announced on Friday that the corona restrictions for many leisure facilities and service providers will be relaxed from Monday – zoos, botanical gardens and museums may reopen, among other things. However, facilities require hygiene concepts for operation.
“We are still voting,” said a spokesman for the Senckenberg Society for Natural Research. When the Nature Museum in Frankfurt opens is still unclear. The hygiene concept is currently being finalized, but it will only take a few days. The Hessen Kassel Museum Landscape (MHK), which looks after many castles and museums in northern Hesse, does not want to decide on a date until Monday.
There was also no appointment for the Frankfurt Zoo on Saturday. The city of Frankfurt had announced an “opening in cautious steps” next week, but had not yet given a specific date. The Frankfurt palm garden is to be partially reopened on May 11th.
The city of Darmstadt announced on Saturday that it would open cultural institutions such as museums, exhibitions, castles and memorials from Tuesday (May 12). “This is due to a certain lead time necessary to prepare for safe operation,” said a spokesman. Similar rules apply to zoos, zoos and botanical gardens. The city zoo Vivarium should also reopen Tuesday under strict conditions.
