The opening is a month later than usual, and the museum will be operating with fewer staff.

The museum lost a long-time staff person last year, and the board said it took longer than expected to replace them with a new development coordinator.

Two summer students have also been hired as guides, however the museum no longer has a genealogist.

"We don't really feel it's going to hinder our value to the public as far as the museum itself goes," said board chairJohn MacDonald.

"I feel great, and I think we have a very excellent and ambitious staff. We have two young guides who I think are going to be excellent and they are both bilingual."

The hours for the Garden of the Gulf museum have also changed slightly it will be closed on Saturdays and Monday mornings, but open Sunday afternoon.
