The head of COSI announced deep cuts in the wake of voters rejection of an operating levy.
COSI president Kathryn Sullivan says COSI will eliminate 67 positions - cutting the science museum's staff by 36%.
The museum will close Mondays and Tuesdays starting June 21st.
COSI will also reduce the size of its exhibit space by 20%. COSI will close for three weeks after Labor Day so crews can make the renovations.
The cuts will reduce COSI's operating budget from $15 million a year to $10 million a year.
Sullivan says COSI continues to look for other funding sources. The museum is negotiating with officials from WOSU to locate some of the television and radio stations' operations there. Click the Listen icon to hear Howard Ornstein's interview with Kathryn Sullivan
