WASHINGTON (AP) — The Smithsonian Institution will begin closing some galleries Wednesday due to budget cuts from Congress but none of the major exhibitions will be affected.
Smithsonian officials plan to close sections of three buildings between from May 1 until the end of the fiscal year Sept. 30. The museum complex must reduce its budget by $42 million as part of Congress’ across-the-board budget cuts.
