The third phase of Ontario's reopening plan allows museums to reopen at 50 per cent capacity, to allow for social distancing.

Directional signage will guide you through the museums and masks will be mandatory.

The Canadian Museum of Science and Technology has not yet announced its reopening date, while the Canadian Museum of History has been open since early June because it's in Gatineau.
