Cleveland Museum of Art Eliminates 22 Jobs

The Cleveland Museum of Art has laid off 14 employees, and will leave another eight positions vacant. The cuts targeted information technology, finance and clerical support.

In September the museum’s director, Timothy Rub, will leave to run the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The Cleveland Museum of Art is an art museum in the University Circle neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. It has a permanent collection of more than 43,000 works of art. In June 2008, the museum reopened 19 of its permanent galleries located in the museum’s historic 1916 building, upon completion of a significant building renovation that had closed the galleries since 2005. In June 2009, the newly constructed East Wing, which houses elements of the Impressionist, Contemporary, and Modern art collections, reopened to the public.
