Birmingham council has confirmed that a consultation about its museum and art gallery service includes
potential job losses, but has denied reports that as many as 30 roles could go.
A council spokesman said the consultation, which is expected to conclude next month, included the potential for redundancies at Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery, although no numbers had been confirmed.
Meanwhile, the council is still consulting on whether to merge the museum into a trust with the city’s Thinktank science museum in 2012-13.
Last month, Thinktank’s chief executive officer, Nick Winterbotham, stood down from his post. Stewart Dobson has been appointed as acting chief executive of Thinktank.
