While some attractions — in particular those with outdoor components — have reopened, many museums, movie theaters and performing arts stages have either opted to remain closed or are in limbo, waiting for direction from the state government and actors’ unions. In the meantime, they’re finding ways to meet fans virtually. Some are promoting long-standing free features such as ways to view permanent collections or uploading recordings of events that some audience members may have missed the first time around. Others are reworking their now-canceled events online. And then there are a few creating original content for audiences young and old.
