You’ll need to wait a few more days to visit the naked mole rats or pay your respects to the grumpy naked man statue at the Hirshhorn.

Within hours of President Trump’s announcement on Friday that the federal government would temporarily reopen, the Smithsonian Institution announced that all of 19 of its museum and the National Zoo will reopen on Tuesday, January 29 at their regular times.” The National Gallery of Art, which is not affiliated with the Smithsonian, will also reopen on Tuesday.

For a week after the partial government shutdown down began, the zoo, Smithsonian museums, and National Gallery stayed open using prior-year funds. But when the impasse stretched into 2019, they had to bar their gates.

“It’s really disappointing for our public because we know so many people come to Washington with plans to visit the Smithsonian museums, which are free, and they really plan on that being a part of their visit to the city,” a spokesperson told DCist at the time.

At the National Zoo, that meant that the bucolic park was off limits to visitors and all the animal cams went dark (D.C. was deprived of its traditional pandas-enjoying-the-snow videos!), though the zoo’s residents remained cared for.

For the National Gallery of Art, the shutdown put some of its spring shows in jeopardy, The Washington Post reported. Preparations for a highly anticipated Tintoretto exhibition are weeks behind schedule, and the opening of other several shows have been pushed back.

David J. Skorton, chairman of the Smithsonian Institution, said that each day of the closure meant a loss of about 45,000 visitors.

“School trips cannot occur with museums closed. The research of curators and others in our museums is halted. Numerous expeditions and field campaigns related to biodiversity, human origins, and healthy forests and waterways have been canceled,” Skorton wrote in an op-ed published in USA Today. He estimated that the shutdown has costing the Smithsonian about $1 million in revenue each week without visitors patronizing its restaurants, shops, IMAX theaters, and other operations.

Until Tuesday, you might want to consult our list of alternative sites for art, history, and cute animals. The National Zoo’s animal cameras will go live again at 8 a.m.
