[01] Ministry cites personnel shortage for closed museums, sites
(ANA-MPA) -- More than 40 museums and archaeological sites around the
country will remain closed in the coming period due to a personnel
shortage and following the cancellation of a tender for nearly 2,600
contract employees, the culture ministry announced on Tuesday.
Most of the museums and sites are located in the provinces, although
major attractions that will be affected include Athens' Byzantine and
Christian Museum -- which will nevertheless re-open next week -- and an
entire floor of central Athens' National Archaeological Museum, the
country's most influential.
The Athens Numismatic Museum's (the Schliemann Mansion) second floor
will be closed and the entire facility will be closed on Sunday.
