During [a] family trip to Washington, [DC] we visited the Smithsonian, we visited all the monuments and memorials, and that had a big impact on me. I think that’s where I first started to realize how interesting history was in general, but especially American history,” says Brent D. Glass (GSAS ’71), who would eventually go on to lead the museum that had so inspired him—the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History.

Since leaving the Smithsonian in 2011, Glass has continued to focus on preservation and public education in private practice for museums and cultural institutions, including current projects for the Sing Sing Prison Museum in Ossining, NY and a Vietnam War exhibition at the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
