COVID-19 pandemic has changed the shape of everybody's life. This new pandemic has affected all economic sectors from mining, banking, manufacturing in an individual country to traveling to a foreign country. Among the most affected sectors, the museum is one of them which survival has now in endanger. The museums have witnessed the greatest financial loss during the COVID-19 period. The museums have started to move to online museum maintaining social distance. The employees are now working from home though the temporary and freelancers are in the way of unemployment or furloughed. The majority of the museums do not have the capacity to pay the employees legal wages. Thus, the stakeholders need to take different supporting activities with respect to the specific museum conditions so that the museum can survive in the post-COVID-19.
