responsible for planning and coordinating a wide array of
educational programs and materials that aim to reach a broad

treasures.  Programs will also be developed in association with the
conservators for specialized audiences that include conservators,
curators, and other museum professionals.  The Program Coordinator
will administer the website, interactive kiosks, and the use of
