Bucks County Bytes presents to you, Laura Igoe, curator of American Art at Michener Museum here in Bucks County. Laura has held multiple positions at Harvard Art Museum, Princeton University Art Museum, Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Science History Institute of Philadelphia.  Laura graduated with a Ph.D. in art history from Temple University and her research has been supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of Learned Societies, the Henry Luce Foundation, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum among many other institutions.

Welcome Laura as she speaks about Michener, the exhibits, the pandemic crisis, and who she is, and how her love of Michener here in Bucks Country drew her to concentrate here in Bucks and the American Art exhibits she so loves.

Michener Museum is built on the property that once housed the old Bucks County Jail, the James. A. Michener Art Museum's history is a part of a large and lasting legacy that spans over 130 years and is deep-rooted in the Doylestown community. With its ties to the notorious jail and its metamorphosis into what is now Bucks County's premier cultural institution and America's hub for Pennsylvania Impressionism, the Michener represents the transformative power art has on individuals and communities alike.
