Four museums on the National Mall remain closed due to an HVAC issue arising from a power outage at a central facility. The affected museums include the Hirshhorn Museum, the National Museum of Asian Art, the National Museum of African Art, and the National Museum of the American Indian. These institutions require strict humidity and temperature controls to maintain their collections. The closures are a result of excessive heat and humidity in the DC area. The Smithsonian Institution anticipates reopening the museums on Wednesday after resolving the HVAC problem.
