"Arts and Museum Leadership and the Making of the Modern City"
What would New York be without MOMA or the Met? Imagine Washington without the Smithsonian or Chicago without the Art Institute.

Strong cultural institutions contribute immeasurably to regional quality of life. The 2007 Jepson School leader-in-residence Dr. Walter Witschey, longtime director of the Science Museum of Virginia (SMV), will host a panel discussion with other metro Richmond museum and arts leaders on trends and the future of culture and the city.
