Say hello to our new director of history, research, and scholarship/senior historian, Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw! We are excited to welcome Gwendolyn as the first woman to hold this senior position at the National Portrait Gallery. 🎉
The Distinguished Service to Museums Award is given to a professional who has made significant and sustained contributions to the field.
Awardee Dr. Marrow’s work @GettyFoundation, which has made nearly 8,000 grants for art history, conservation, & museums, has done just that.
My PhD case study on @FieldMuseum includes analysis of their "About" page... so impressed that I'm sharing:
- Not institutional voice, instead "our story began..."
- Credit to all staff (see image)
- Ends with "Science is for everyone. And we can’t wait to share it with you."
Opening day! Join us for tours, food-tasting, art-making and this once in a lifetime chance to see treasures from Beijing’s Forbidden City. @FreerSackler #FSEmpresses
