The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG) in Hobart will reduce its opening hours from November, and also cut staff numbers in an effort to address an annual financial shortfall of $1 million.
The changes – which sources say will create savings of only $300,000 a year – are designed to ensure TMAG can continue to ‘sustainably deliver an outstanding cultural offering to Tasmanians and visitors,’ according to a statement made by the Board of Trustees on Monday.
