TWO Canberra institutes have announced immediate cancelations of their education programs, and one will close completely, as a precautionary measure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA) and the National Gallery of Australia (NGA) have today said they have cancelled all education programs, with the NFSA saying it will close to the public entirely until April 30.
The NFSA says it is taking this decision to help safeguard the health and safety of visitors and staff, as well as the broader community. But the institution says audiences will find hundreds of hours of content on its collection online.
“We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Those who have purchased tickets to any of our upcoming events, will receive a refund,” says the NFSA.
