I think the benches are now downstairs, some of them at least. In the dining/cafeteria area. I agree they took them out to prevent napping - often by the homeless. If you walk in that room you can see the marble is worn down from people swinging their feet while sitting on the bench. Kind of nice. They also took them out because I think they realized they could make some serious cash by renting out the room for dinners, exhibitions etc.
