PARIS, Oct. 28 (UPI) -- The Musee d'Orsay in Paris has reopened to the public after a six-day strike by staff facing layoffs, museum officials said.
The work stoppage, which ended Thursday, cost the popular Left Bank tourist attraction $70,000 a day in lost ticket sales, Radio France Internationale reported.
France's Culture Ministry said the stand-off was settled after the government agreed to restore 13 of the 34 positions that were eliminated due to budget cuts. Workers had been seeking 20 new hires, RFI siad.
The museum, known for its collection of impressionist and other 19th-century art, is housed in the former Gare d'Orsay, a Beaux Arts railroad station and hotel, which recently underwent a major renovation that expanded its floorspace by 6,500 square-feet. Employees said they needed more help to handle the larger space.
