The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center announced Friday that it will reopen on July 24.
The museum was closed for three months due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The reopening will bring new safety requirements, including modified hours and capacity, timed tickets and enhanced cleaning protocols, the release states.
“The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is a place of understanding and dialogue, where we confront our past in order to build a better, more equitable future and the climate we find our country in now makes our mission especially vital,” Freedom Center president Woodrow Keown Jr. said in the release.

Certain museum experiences will be altered or closed upon reopening. Touch-based interactivities are being updated with foot pedals, according to the release. "The Rosa Parks Experience" will not be available in July.
Timed tickets, which will be enforced to help manage crowd capacity, can be purchased online, the release states. Ticket levels will be reevaluated after the first few weeks of reopening and adjusted if necessary.
The release states signage and floor markings will be in place to help guests maintain proper social distancing. It has not yet been determined when the 300-seat Harriet Tubman Theater will reopen.
Masks will be worn by Freedom Center staff at all times, the release states. Guests are encouraged to do the same.
“We’re working diligently to reopen our museum in a safe and responsible way so that we can welcome our community home and work together for inclusive freedom," Keown Jr. said.
