Natural History cutback blamed on reduced city funding
 The American Museum of Natural History has dumped its free jazz series, but it’s the why and how that may be worth noting.
The museum’s website explains the cancellation like this:
It is with regret that the American Museum of Natural History announces that, due to a reduction in City funding, we will no longer be able to present Starry Nights. We hope those who have enjoyed coming to the Museum for this popular music series will continue to enjoy the wide variety of cultural offerings the Museum provides.
Could this be a signal of things to come at other city museums and cultural venues?
The American Museum of Natural History currently has a suggested admission of $15 for adults; $8.50 for children; and $11 for seniors or students.
