Some museums open in Colorado Springs while others remain closed

Open for business: Miramont Castle, Rock Ledge Ranch, ProRodeo Hall of Fame, Western Museum of Mining and Industry, Ghost Town Museum, Manitou Cliff Dwellings.

Closed until further notice: Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum, Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College, Money Museum, Space Foundation Discovery Center, McAllister House Museum, World Figure Skating Museum & Hall of Fame.
