The decision comes after North Carolina Governor Cooper announced <a href=”https://www.foxcarolina.com/coronavirus/after-nc-gov-shuts-down-k–schools-for-two/article_19493f6a-6633-11ea-9533-73129041935c.html” target=”_blank”>an executive order</a> – shutting down all K-12 schools for two weeks, and enforces a ban on gatherings of more than 100 people.

“Thank you for understanding and helping to keep our community healthy and safe,” the museum wrote in a press release.
