Four museum directors, new to the Boston area, discuss the role of the art museum curator. Join moderator John Ravenal (deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum) and panelists Martha Tedeschi (Harvard Art Museums) and Matthew Teitelbaum (Museum of Fine Arts, Boston) for lively conversation on their views of the curatorial profession—the challenges and opportunities; balances in presenting western/non-western and modern/non-modern; and how the role of curator has changed, what should change, and what lies ahead.
