Clive Trueman (clivetrue.bsky.social) Dr Alex Bond It is. The people leaving often have decades of experience working with the museum collections. This kind of loss is generational. Those surviving are faced with downgraded salaries and multiplying workloads.
Imagine how this impacts the risks of catastrophic losses.

Desperately sad news.
Museums are treasure houses of objects and knowledge, founts of inspiration for future generations, places of wonder - and research. Places that invite us to see ourselves in a deep, wide context.
Our society and culture is impoverished if we lose them.
