As communities around the world reopen, or begin planning to reopen, masks are still recommended in public settings. Now it's your turn—take the #MetMaskChallenge and create a mask, or decorate an existing one, with artwork from The Met's collection! Don't forget ⬇️ ▪️ The @cdcgov has a number of tutorials on how to make masks at home.
