Boston's Museum of Fine Arts will have 113 fewer employees due to pandemic, amid layoffs and early retirements


Because of the pandemic, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston laid off 57 employees and another 56 took early retirement. Prior to the emergency, 550 employees worked there

The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has laid off fifty-seven employees and announced that fifty-six others have chosen early retirement. The pandemic will affect the museum’s revenue for a long time. Prior to the March 12 forced closure, 550 employees worked at the institution. “After carefully considering the role employed by each employee,” the museum knew, "we redefined the organization to fit our new business model."

“This has been an extremely painful process,” said Director Matthew Teitelbaum. "Faced with the challenge of a significant change in the economic landscape, we made this difficult decision based on the need to create stability and sustainability for the museum."



The museum venue hopes to reopen to the public early this fall, according to government regulations for security and the government’s ability to protect both staff members and visitors from contagion.
