The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston will lay off thirty-three workers, or about 6.3 percent of its staff, this Friday as it struggles to reckon with a projected $13 million budget shortfall. The museum will also eliminate another twenty-three positions that are currently vacant, bringing the total percentage of positions cut to roughly 10 percent. “Our challenge was to create a sustainable business model while remaining true to our mission,” said the museum in a statement. The union said that it expected sixteen unionized staffers and seventeen other workers to lose their jobs. The number surpassed the historical pre-pandemic average by 37 percent, but remained significantly lower than the 2019 attendance figure of 1,351,000.
