NEW YORK (NYT NEWS SERVICE).- After months of having empty halls, the Brooklyn Museum and El Museo del Barrio will reopen Sept. 12, but with limited hours and restrictions on capacity.

Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced last week that museums could reopen as soon as Monday, at 25% capacity and with timed ticketing. Face coverings will be necessary, and museums will be required to control the flow of traffic through their halls.

The Brooklyn Museum’s opening weekend festivities, some of which will be outdoors, will include musical performances, chalk drawing and food offerings from local vendors on the museum’s plaza. Inside, the museum will premiere its “Studio 54: Night Magic” exhibition about the social politics of the storied Manhattan nightclub, which was originally scheduled to open March 13, the day the museum closed because of the pandemic.

The museum will also begin a sunset outdoor screening series Sept. 9, with video works from artists in its collection. The nightly screenings will start at 6 p.m., Wednesdays through Sundays, and continue through Nov. 11. The museum will also offer socially distant outdoor yoga and meditation events at 10 a.m. on Sept. 19 and Sept. 26.

The museum’s first- and fifth-floor galleries will be open Wednesdays through Sundays, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., with extended hours until 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Members can visit a few days in advance, from Sept. 9-11. Visitors may pay what they wish for admission, and they will be encouraged to buy timed-entry tickets online in advance.




The museum’s restaurant, the Norm, will remain closed, and all in-person tours and indoor public programs are canceled through the end of the year.

“Studio 54” will be open through Nov. 8, and the “JR: Chronicles” exhibition has been extended through Oct. 18. The first solo exhibition for John Edmonds, a Brooklyn-based photographer, and a renovated display of items in the Decorative Arts collection, “Design: 1880 to Now,” will both open Oct. 23. Exhibitions about KAWS, an American graffiti artist and former Disney animator, and Lorraine O’Grady, a feminist artist, will open in February and March.

El Museo del Barrio, the Latino, Caribbean and Latin American art museum on the north end of the Museum Mile, will also reopen Sept. 12, with a monograph exhibition about Taller Boricua, the East Harlem-based Nuyorican collective workshop and alternative space. The exhibition, which had been postponed from March, will be on view through Jan. 17.

The museum will be open Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m., and to gain admission visitors may pay what they wish.

The Whitney said last week that it planned to open Sept. 3; the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of the City of New York were planning to open Aug. 27; the American Museum of Natural History was planning to open Sept. 9; and the Metropolitan Museum of Art was planning to open Aug. 29.
