NATIONAL Museums Liverpool (NML) are making further redundancies as the organisation battles funding cuts.
A total of 53 staff are due to leave by July 31 as part of NML’s drive to reduce its annual spending by £3m per year.
The job losses, which are all voluntary, include staff from a number of departments such as curatorial, visitor services, collections management, education, exhibitions, finance, HR and communications.
Two earlier voluntary severance schemes were taken up by 34 people – bringing the total number of job losses so far to 87. The organisation said further redundancies were “unavoidable.”
NML director Dr David Fleming said: “The loss of key people will undoubtedly have an impact on what we can offer to our visitors.
“I am very saddened at having to say goodbye to these staff, each of whom has played a part in making National Museums Liverpool the success story that it is – a museum service that is much loved and valued by the people of Merseyside.
“The funding situation is very bad and is likely to get worse. We are continuing to work on making savings. We will continue to look at alternatives – but further job losses are unavoidable.”
Senior managers are now beginning to look at a restructure of the scaled-down organisation.
Among the options being considered are closing display galleries to the public, staging fewer exhibitions and introducing admission charges for special exhibitions and events.
NML is made up of eight venues which attract more than 3m visitors every year. It operates the World Museum, the Walker Art Gallery, Merseyside Maritime Museum, International Slavery Museum, UK Border Agency National Museum, Sudley House, the Lady Lever Art Gallery and the new Museum of Liverpool.
Its collections are among the most important and varied in Europe and contain everything from Impressionist paintings and rare beetles to a lifejacket from the Titanic.

Pranab tables white paper on black money in LS - Hindustan Times
"I will try to give all the relevant and possible information", Mukherjee had earlier said during the debate on Finance Bill in the Lok Sabha. The white paper is expected to provide information about black money stashed abroad. However, there are also indications that it may not provide the estimates of the black money stashed overseas as the expert committees appointed by the government to assess the amount of unaccounted money are yet to submit their reports.
The white paper is likely to contain the report of an official committee, set up in May 2011, under the chairmanship of Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). This was in addition to the independent studies being carried out by National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER), National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) and National Institute of Financial Management (NIFM).
The reports of idependent studies is likely to be out at the end of an 18-month period, and that period is coming to a close around July or August.
