Some of London's biggest museums have announced their plans to reopen next month, but are expecting visitor numbers to drop by 80% when they do.
The Natural History Museum, V&A and Science Museum will all open their doors again during August.
Visitors will be "strongly" recommended to wear face masks, but it will not be compulsory, as it will in shops.
Free tickets must be booked in advance. The venues ruled out charging, despite their "very precarious" finances.
The museums all have their main bases in South Kensington and will reopen before the end of the school summer holidays.
I'm not surprised at all by this: I'm not sure who would visit these days. I'm a big fan of museums - and yet, even I'd be reluctant to visit one, given the current situation...
To be honest, I'm a bit surprised many of them are bothering to open at all...
