Science Museum of Minnesota lays off 43 people, downsizes by $7 million
The Science Museum of Minnesota is cutting 43 full-time positions—13% of its staff—and trimming $7 million from its $38 million budget as attendance continues to lag nearly 30% below pre-pandemic levels. The restructuring eliminates entire departments, including access and equity and program evaluation, and reduces staffing across education, IT, and accounting. Museum leaders say the cuts are essential to balance the budget and adapt to changing visitor habits, while union representatives and affected employees criticize the move as short-sighted and damaging to the museum’s role in the community. Frederick Melo with St. Paul Pioneer Press has the full story.
