The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art has announced significant layoffs totaling 15 full-time and seven part-time employees, amounting to a 14% reduction in its workforce, primarily affecting its public programs and education teams. This restructuring is meant to ensure the museum opens on time in 2026 amid ongoing construction of its $1 billion facility in Los Angeles. The museum is shifting its focus under interim leadership following the departure of its long-term director. Despite layoffs, education is emphasized as a central aspect.
The staff reduction was due to a necessary shift of the institution's focus to ensure we open on time next year.
It is a tremendously difficult decision to reorganise roles and to eliminate staff, but the restructure will allow the museum's teams to work more efficiently to bring the museum to life for the public.
Education remains a central pillar of the Lucas Museum.
The futuristic 300,000 sq. ft building is in advanced stages of construction in Los Angeles's Exposition Park.
