MFA Lays Off 23

“Struggling to balance its budget, [Boston’s] Museum of Fine Arts told 23 staff members yesterday that they would be laid off immediately. Though museum officials declined to say exactly who had been let go, they did say the layoffs had come from across the museum’s divisions, including its curatorial staff. That is in addition to five positions eliminated since January.” The layoffs included no curatorial department heads, unlike MFA’s last round of firings in 1999.
