Following three months of no admissions at the Imperial War Museums in England, visitors resumed attending the famous museums in the second quarter of 2021. August was the busiest month for the establishments that year, having welcomed 184 thousand visitors in total. Despite the recovery in attendance in the second half of the 2021, visitor numbers did not reach pre-pandemic levels that year. For comparison, the Imperial War Museums reported roughly 286 thousand guests in August 2019. Due to the restrictions enacted during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, museums and galleries in the United Kingdom had to stay closed for several months in 2020 and 2021.
