Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking museums, temporary or ‘special’ exhibitions are promoted with short notices like “Cierra pronto” to encourage attendance. The tone is neutral‑formal; avoid overly casual slang in official signage. In Latin America the verb is pronounced with an /s/ (cierra → /siˈeɾa/), while in Spain it uses the /θ/ sound.
