I’d love to hear the responses, too.
We’ve closed our doors as well, though we maintain visibility
through digital means (digital exhibitions, blog, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter,
Facebook, etc…).

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Closing in preparation for a move
Dear
Colleagues-
The Utah Museum of Natural History is constructing a new building that will
open in 2011. We plan to close our current building to the public for a
period of time before we open at our new site and are interested to hear from
other museums who have gone through this process. How long were you
closed? How did you maintain community visibility during the period you
were closed? Did the period you were closed provide sufficient time to
move and prepare to open your new facility? What advantages and
disadvantages did you discover to your approach?
Thanks in advance for your help. Please feel free to respond to me
directly.
Lisa
