Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Tour & Dinner

Posted July 20, 2009

For the third consecutive year, the Scholars were hosted by Alan Chong, Curator of the Collection at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum for an after hours tour and dinner. Various Grant Partners and Senior Mentors were able to join the group, including Dennis Barr from Facing History and Ourselves and Dr. Ted Alyea and Dr. Mark Kieran from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

During the dinner in Mrs. Gardner's old office, Alan talked about his unlikely career path of becoming a curator and the effects that the down economy has had on the museum world.
