ST Offers Museum Confidential: The Director of Alabama's Birmingham Museum of Art Confronts the Past

Public Radio Tulsa | By Rich Fisher

Published April 26, 2019 at 3:58 PM CDT

On this edition of StudioTulsa, we offer another episode of our twice-monthly Museum Confidential podcast (which is co-created by Jeff Martin with Philbrook Museum of Art and our own Scott Gregory). This time out, MC speaks with Graham Boettcher, Director of the Birmingham Museum of Art in Birmingham, Alabama. Boettcher has recently been looking at that museum's troubling Jim Crow-era policies, which occurred in the first dozen years of its existence.
