The Bullock Museum and IMAX-Theatre closed indefinitely “out of concern for our visitors and staff due to the spread of COVID-19” on Tuesday. As a result, there was no one outside the building on Sunday as was the case all across the UT campus. Museum officials said there is no timetable for when the museum will reopen; rather they will resume programming “as circumstances allow.” Photo by Dave Winter.
