You may have already heard the shocking news regarding the impending changes at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. Yn fyr, yr amgueddfa mewn argyfwng ariannol a newidiadau enfawr yn mynd i gael eu gweithredu gan y llywydd newydd, Richard Lariviere. Mae'n debyg bod hyd at hanner y staff ymchwil (including tenured curators) will be laid off and all research departments will be dissolved into “science and education”. Money will be spent modernizing the exhibits, all while gutting the scientific core of the museum.
