New Netherland and the New York State Museum
New York State’s Deputy Commissioner for Cultural Education and Director of the State Museum Mark Schaming chats with Russell Shorto about Schaming’s three decades of work at the State Museum and his new position overseeing the Office of Cultural Education, which includes the State Museum, State Archives and State Library. Among the topics are, of course, the role of New Netherland in the State Museum, the changing face of the museum (and museums in general), and Schaming’s documentation of the massive recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site following the 9/11 attacks.
