"When you start really thinking about what (Rust Hall) can be... when I look at what our current exhibitions could look like here, having the space where you could actually walk around each of the objects instead of having things against the wall where you can't fully appreciate the work... that's a moment that's exciting to me. It's also our educational programming. I get so excited thinking about what we could do here. If we can do (all that we do now) ... imagine all that in this space. The classes we could teach, the people we could engage, the lives we could change... it's exciting."
That's Carissa Hussong, Executive Director of the Metal Museum, talking about the future of the Metal Museum's exhibits, projects and programs, and how they will have the chances for greater impacts and engagements in a restored and reimagined Rust Hall, overlooking Overton Park. Recorded in Rust Hall, the circa 1959 former home of the Memphis College of Art, in July of 2022, after the City of Memphis finalized a 100-year lease of the building to the Metal Museum.
Join host Mark Fleischer as he talks with Carissa about the legacy and magic that is the Metal Museum, the restorations and renovations going into historic Rust Hall, and the efforts to expand the museum's works and programs into the iconic spot in the middle of Overton Park.
