Summary/Abstract: During the last six months, not only the cultural institutional network but also all of humanity has entered in a peculiar existential state. All that was previously commonplace, accepted, or natural has become in many ways impossible or, in some cases, even illegal. During the last period, we could have also witnessed the changes regarding museums and museum environments, and we, who inhabit/use the spaces of the museums, have also changed. These changes affect the frameworks of representation and reception, as well as our viewing and interpretation habits. The pandemic has caused a backward step in museum practice to a previous stage. Museums have suddenly re-become archives preserving objects and meanings, and it will take time for them to recollect themselves and start searching for solutions.
