Newark Museum Hires Steven Kern as New Director

I hope this news brings all good things to my favorite Newark Museum, which, alas, has had it fair share of troubles in recent times. I just can't wait for the Museum's fortunes to change for the better, so it could, among other things, more confidently embark on the long-planned, much-needed expansion.  I am rooting for the Museum and its new man-at-the-helm.
