backstory50: Front of House

So, you walk into the Neuberger and then what happens? Our Visitor Services and Security team are right there, to welcome you, and to make sure that your visit is safe and comfortable. 

Hear more from those who lead this area for us:

In this profile, Visitor Services and Operations Associate Peter Cole describes what he and his team of students have the honor of serving as the front line of interaction with the public and the Purchase College campus community.

And in this video profile, filmed a couple of years ago, Head of Museum Preparedness Sanjeev Avasthi discusses some of his memorable moments over 25+ years at the Neuberger!

Today’s 50th anniversary thank-you goes to Peter for all that he does to make sure you feel welcome and to Sanjeev for making sure that both you and the artwork are safe.
