In response to the latest guidelines and information from local and state public health authorities, we have decided to close the Academy to the public, effective today, March 12, at 5:00 pm.
As a leading scientific institution and trusted community space, we remain committed to following the recommendations of public health authorities. While we do not have any known cases of exposure to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) connected to the museum and we have not been mandated to close due to public health concerns, we are acting in an abundance of caution with the health and safety of our visitors, staff, and volunteers as our top priority and responsibility.
At this time, the museum will remain closed to the public through the end of March per the recommendations of public health authorities and we will continue to follow their guidance and act accordingly.
We encourage everyone to stay healthy, informed, and updated with resources from the San Francisco Department of Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We will also be posting regular updates on this page and on Twitter.
The Academy deeply appreciates the patience, support, and understanding of our community, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the museum soon.
Tune in to Facebook at 3 pm today for a livestream with Dr. Shannon Bennett, the Academy's Chief of Science. Dr. Bennett is a virologist who studies infectious diseases and will answer questions that we've collected from our social media community about coronaviruses and COVID-19. Can't make it? We'll share the YouTube link here after the livestream.
