I am a curator, researcher, writer, and lecturer dedicated to exploring new narratives in American decorative arts and material culture.

I help museums bridge past and present by uncovering the human stories behind objects.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Margi has been instrumental in the evolution of New-York Historical over the past three decades. From her pivotal work on the permanent Gallery of Tiffany Lamps to her achievements as Museum director, she has crafted outstanding exhibitions, expanded our collections, and enriched the historical narrative for our audiences. We are immensely grateful for the legacy she leaves.
