Museum Clean & Safe Protocol
- CMC will be limiting attendance to allow for social distancing.
- Cleaning and disinfecting measures have been increased. All exhibit areas will be deep cleaned daily. We will also close off sections of exhibits throughout the day for a brief rest period so that we can clean, disinfect, and exchange props. Commonly touched surfaces such as the elevator, hand rails, and door knobs will be disinfected throughout the day. CMC has also contracted JanPro to treat the entire museum with EnviroShield for an added layer of safety.
- All CMC staff will be required to wear face masks, and health screens and temperature checks will be conducted daily.
