The museum then issued a public statement saying that the space would be “closed to the public until further notice.” By Wednesday, the museum had issued yet another statement: There are “no present plans to reopen.”
Staffers who had announced their intent to unionize decried the shutdown as an illegal union-busting scheme.</p></em><br /><br /><p>The Marciano Art Foundation debuted in 2017 and was designed by <a href="https://archinect.com/wHY-site" target="_blank">wHY</a> within a building originally designed by storied Los Angeles architect Millard Sheets. </p>
<p>Describing the abrupt closure, <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/1361628/carolina-miranda" target="_blank">Carolina Miranda</a> writes in <em>The Los Angeles Times, </em>"The Marciano situation has also highlighted issues of pay equity at museums, which frequently have a coterie of well-remunerated administrators at the top, followed by a much larger subset of poorly paid workers at the bottom, many part time."</p>
