Meanwhile, in the United States, 12,000 museums face closure. The American Alliance of Museums (AAM) [believes](https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/coronavirus-pandemic-museums-close-permanently-1202695152/?ref=theparnassian.com) that one museum in three across the States may shut its doors by the end of 2020, owing to the colossal crisis that has befallen Americans this year.
