Arts Champion Remembered


The Museum family fondly remembers Schuyler Chapin, impresario, arts manager, and champion of the city's cultural landscape. We are grateful that Mr. Chapin, as a representative of the Mayor's office, was among those present on October 5, 2001 at the reopening of the Museum of Jewish Heritage after the 9/11 attacks.


Along with former Governor George Pataki, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, and the Museum's steadfast leadership including Chairman Robert M. Morgenthau and director Dr. David G. Marwell, Mr. Chapin believed strongly that the Museum should and must reopen in the wake of September 11th. We are most appreciative of his demonstrable support of our institution at this critical moment in our history.
