This makes me want to visit the Benaki before 25 August! I was in Athens last week, but the Benaki was closed when I was there on Tuesday.

This headline is an example of how the meaning of Uk English and US English differs. I read the headline as meaning that the New York Times was subsidising the Benaki Museum. But "covers" only means that the New York Times has an article about the financial woes of the Benaki.

Benaki Museum Director Struggles With Budget Cuts
Benaki Museum Director Struggles With Budget Cuts - NYTimes.com
I went to the Benaki Museum (the main building near Syntagma Square) last month. An excellent museum. But I was surprised to find that on Thursdays there was not only late night opening, but also free entrance. Very pleasant for visitors to the museum, but less good for the museum's finances.
The link is to the New York Times, but I read this article last night, on Amorgos, in the International Herald Tribune.
