A severe budget crisis is forcing officials to cut back on exhibitions planned at the 9-11 museum in New York City for the 20th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
The non-profit museum has had to lay off employees and put some on furlough, impacting around 60% of all staff members.
There had been plans to develop a new exhibit exploring how music helped unite Americans following tragedies such as 9-11.
Given the budget crisis, officials made the decision to focus on the so-called "core museum experience" in order to beef up aspects of the museum that drive the bulk of attendance.
