No, the federal government shutting down again isn’t behind this:
Due to #MetroShutdown our DC museums will open at noon today, except for @americanart@NPG & @NationalZoo which will open on time

Luckily, if you’ve decided to take today off, you can visit Bei Bei at the regular time. Or watch him from home.
