On Tuesday, Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough plans to tell congress that the museum must limit its security contract for gallery attendants due to budget cuts. These budget cuts will eventually reduce the number of free exhibitions available to viewers.
The Smithsonian had to reduce its budget by $41 million due to budget cuts inflicted by congress. The museum will be closing several exhibits for the years 2014 and 2015. The Smithsonian will proceed with closing exhibits after May 1st.
