 The protest was organized by dozens of Dutch museums against “inconsistent” lockdowns of art institutions due to the omicron variant. The Van Gogh Museum and the Mauritshuis—defiantly reopened for a day as nail salons, barbershops, and gyms (because workout and grooming services were allowed to be open, but cultural venues were not).
