    Abstract
    Museums are required to reconsider their traditional approach to survive and thrive during the pandemic. Changes and innovations have been made not only to combat infectious diseases directly but to suit the uncertainty and series of lockdown periods. The objectives of this paper are to identify museum adaptation in lieu of the COVID-19 pandemic and to investigate the impact on museum visitors. The data collection derives from direct online observation of selected museum websites and a review of the literature. The research found that museum has implemented both physical and digital medium to approach the audience. This study shows that modification of rules and regulations and attention to the digital approach is helpful to keep the museum connected to its audience. Though, it required further consideration in order to minimize the negative impact on museum visitors.
