New York’s Local Museums Feel the Pinch - museum - art


THE Queens County Farm Museum has switched its animal feed to spent grains donated by the Brooklyn Brewery, and Flushing Town Hall, which presents arts and education programs, has taken its trolley tours of famous jazz sites off the road.



The Bronx Museum of the Arts has laid off part-time security guards and postponed plans to build a “youth activity garden” in its three back lots, because its capital money dried up.

The Staten Island Museum finds itself trying to slim down even as it prepares to move its library and archive into buildings at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden, which requires more staff.
