The Brooklyn Museum is facing a significant financial crisis, resulting in a $10 million budget deficit that will lead to layoffs of 47 employees. Although the museum saw increases in attendance through various events, management's financial decisions, including high salaries and increased spending, have contributed to its precarious position. Employees represented by various unions are facing job losses, while leadership, including director Anne Pasternak, avoids similar consequences, raising concerns about accountability among decision-makers.
"According to Souffrant, management decided to spend more and more, even as the museum was only going broker and broker...it's not those decision-makers who'll pay the price, but senior employees who have worked for the museum for decades."
