联合国教科文组织警告称，因新冠疫情大流行，全球近13%的博物馆可能永久关闭。

On the occasion of International Museum Day on Monday, two studies by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization and the International Council of Museums said that museums have been especially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, with nearly 90% of them, or more than 85,000 institutions, having closed their doors for varying lengths of time during the crisis.
18日是国际博物馆日，联合国教科文组织和国际博物馆协会的两项研究显示，博物馆受到新冠疫情的影响尤为严重。疫情危机期间，超过8.5万家博物馆不同程度闭馆，占到全球博物馆总数的近90%。

Furthermore, in Africa and the Small Island Developing States, only 5% of museums were able to offer online content to their audiences.
此外，在非洲和小岛屿发展中国家，只有5%的博物馆能够向其受众提供在线内容。

The two studies were aimed at assessing the impact of COVID-19 on museums and museum institutions. They were also aiming to find out how the sector had adapted to the pandemic and explore ways to support institutions in its aftermath.
