“How do you keep art and the people who care for it safe during a global pandemic?” This is the question that museums and art galleries have asked themselves all around the globe. How does everyone care for “thousands of artworks and the millions of library and archive items” while protecting each other during these unprecedented conditions?

In this video, Caring for Art during Covid, the Tate answers this question with interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. It’s a tranquil, thoughtful window into their high standard of care.
