The Brooklyn Museum will not be moving forward with layoffs of over a dozen workers thanks to $2.5 million in new funds from City Council, which voted unanimously to pass the 2026 Fiscal Year budget yesterday, June 30.

Facing a growing deficit, the Brooklyn Museum announced its intent to cut around 47 full- and part-time workers — more than 10% of its staff — back in February, a plan that was immediately met with backlash from its unions and community supporters. At least five non-unionized staff members were immediately laid off.

Now, those cuts are officially off the table. Under the city’s $115.9 billion budget for the upcoming fiscal year, Speaker Adrienne E. Adams’s Initiative to Address Citywide Needs allocates $2.5 million for the Brooklyn Museum to “maintain current staffing levels, develop a robust philanthropic pipeline, and create a sustainable plan for the future.”
