The RMG is open to visitors once again
The Robert McLaughlin Gallery has opened its doors to the public after closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
As of July 28, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery (RMG) has reopened its doors to the public.
To reopen safely, the RMG is putting a number of protocols and guidelines in place to ensure the health and safety of visitors, volunteers, and staff.
The gallery has temporarily adjusted its hours to the following: Mondays are closed; and Tuesdays to Sundays are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. A special time Tuesday to Thursday, from 10 a.m. to noon, is available only to seniors and immune-compromised individuals.
What the gallery is doing to protect visitors:
– Limiting the number of visitors to the gallery.
– Increasing cleaning, particularly of high touch areas.
– Providing hand sanitizer at entrances and exits.
– Restricting elevator access to one person or one household.
– Cancelled all onsite group programming for the foreseeable future.
– Closing interactive spaces and installations; closing the community lounge.
– Installed plexiglass at the reception and shop counters.
Visitors are being asked to:
– Self-assess before visiting. For those feeling unwell, they are asked to stay at home and use the Virtual RMG at http://rmg.on.ca/virtual-rmg/
– Check hours as they are reduced at this time
– Wear a mask during the visit to help protect others. Those who don’t have their own can get one at the RMG upon arrival.
– Social distance during the visit. There will be cues for visitors throughout the space. Visitors are asked to be mindful of some of the narrowed corridors.
– Check in at the welcome desk in the RMG shop upon arrival
– Follow the one-way route throughout the galleries. There will be arrows, directional signage, and a map shared upon arrival.
– The coat room will be closed, so plan accordingly.
