美術館・博物館の休業継続　国立５施設、都要請で転換―文化庁

　文化庁は１１日、東京都内にある国立の美術館や博物館など５施設について、緊急事態宣言の延長初日に当たる１２日からの再開を予定していたが、一転して休業を継続すると発表した。都が１０日、新型コロナウイルス対策として人出を抑制するため、文書で休業を要請したことを踏まえた。

State-run cultural facilities such as museums in Tokyo will remain closed, the Cultural Affairs Agency said Tuesday.
   The agency initially planned to reopen them on Wednesday, the first day of the extended coronavirus state of emergency through May 31, but decided to keep them shut at the written request of the Tokyo metropolitan government.
   The facilities are the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, the National Art Center, Tokyo, the Tokyo National Museum, the National Museum of Nature and Science and the National Film Archive of Japan.
   "It's greatly meaningful for the central and metropolitan governments to work together to take measures and send out messages" for preventing the further spread of the virus, Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike told reporters.
   Under the extended state of emergency in Tokyo and several prefectures in central and western Japan, the central government allows large-scale facilities with a floor space of over 1,000 square meters to open until 8 p.m.
