Brooklyn Museum Director Arnold Lehman has issued an update to his April letter about the measures the Museum has taken to address the current economic crisis. His letter today concerns what the Museum has had to do in regards to our wonderful staff. Sadly, there have been layoffs in departments across the Museum. As valued friends of the Museum, I want to draw your attention to this update. Again, Arnold’s letter articulates how important it is for the Museum to continue to operate as a vibrant and meaningful place for all of us.

This is very sad. As a member and a neighbor, I can say that each of the employees of the museum is a valuable part of this community. They are contributing to our community by providing a service, utilizing our neighborhood businesses, welcoming visitors, and improving the level of collective dialogue. These are precisely the sort of community members that we want more of, not less. I hope more people in the community will get involved with the museum, financially, to help prevent more of these losses.
