This week, I went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to talk with Michael Taylor, the museum’s chief curator and deputy director for art and education. Michael is a relative newcomer to Richmond, and he doesn't take this jewel of an art museum for granted. We talked about the ways that museums are changing, as people expect to experience the art and the space differently, how contemporary art is front and center, and enlivening the galleries by challenging the art history status quo.
