The Future of Blockbuster Exhibitions after the Covid-19 crisis

Press/Media: Research › Academic

Description

The cultural field has been among those sectors that have been heavily affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. In Europe, museums closed in March of 2020. All of a sudden, these institutions were left without substantial income usually generated via entrance fees, museum shop sales, and museum cafe earnings. The financial struggle of many of these museums was even worsened if they had planned a large exhibition, a so-called blockbuster exhibition.
