A new CEO and director has been named for Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Museum.
Christina Orr-Cahall, currently CEO and director of the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Fla., will be taking the helm at EMP/SFM starting on or before July 1.
"I really am interested in the whole visionary side, the fact that it pushes boundaries, that it's experiential," Orr-Cahall said of the Seattle museum. "I see interesting ways in which it can grow and develop."
Orr-Cahall improved and expanded the Norton Museum's exhibitions program, doubled the size of the permanent collection and quintupled the endowment, according to EMP/SFM.
She succeeds Josi Callan, interim CEO of EMP/SFM since 2006.
Experience Music Project opened in 2000 and the Science Fiction Museum was added in 2004.
