The art world is stepping up to fight the coronavirus with critical donations.
Although museums nationwide have closed their doors amid the coronavirus crisis, they have found a surprising way to provide valuable resources in the fight against the pandemic. Shuttered institutions have tapped their reserves of respirators, face masks and gloves — everyday protective gear that keep artists, and their work, safe — and are donating those items to supplement the emergency shortage of medical supplies, Yahoo Lifestyle has learned.
In New York City, the Museum of Modern Art donated almost 3,000 nitrile gloves to Mount Sinai and New York Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center and 300 N95 masks to NYU Langone. Contemporary art center MoMA PS1 also sent 5,000 nitrile gloves to Montefiore Medical Center and New York Presbyterian. The Whitney Museum of American Art sent 62 gloves, 10 N95 masks, one case of booties and 11 Tyvek suits to Columbia University Medical Irving Center.
The efforts are virtually unprecedented, although Louise Mirrer, the president and CEO of the New-York Historical Society tells Yahoo Lifestyle that during World War II, the museum and library converted galleries to surgical dressing stations where 4 million bandages were made and sent to the Red Cross stations abroad.
