On Monday, 1 February, Friuli Venezia Giulia will be downgraded from medium-risk orange zone to the lower-risk zona gialla (yellow zone) category, allowing museums to reopen its doors to visitors first time since 6 November.
“It’s the first small step towards restart” said the Minister for Cultural Affairs and Tourism, Dario Franceschini announcing the museums in yellow zones can reopen their doors to public.
Castello Miramare is set to reopen its doors on Monday, 1st February from 9 am to 7 pm.
Magazzino delle idee will reopen its doors to public on 2nd February from 10 am to 7 pm after 3 month closure.
However, one key difference compared to last year will be that museums in yellow zones can currently only open from Monday to Friday, not at weekends.
It remains to be seen how many museums will reopen next week in Trieste, given the relatively short notice. It should also be noted that most museums are usually closed on Mondays anyway so expect the majority to start reopening from Tuesday 2 February.
