the metropolitan museum of art predicted thursday that it may put off more than a quarter of its sponsorships staff , eliminating 74 jobs in total to 53 already cut over the last year . it also warned that the worsening industries would most likely cause it to shrink its annual workers forces by 10 percent ― as many as 250 first - and part - service hours in all ― before the summer , particularly some in curatorial and other management departments .
The Metropolitan Museum has 250 employees.
