Guggenheim Visits Down 25 Percent:

Is the Guggenheim Museum in danger of going bankrupt, as a New York Sun story suggested in late September? Not at all, say museum officials. Sure the museum is hurting – staff has been cut, and the museum’s Soho gallery was closed – and attendance is down 25 percent this year. For next year? “Staff layoffs, reduced museum hours, and changes in the exhibition programme were all suggested as possibilities, according to a spokesperson for the Guggenheim.”
