When you take over a museum a few months before the start of a global pandemic, it’s not going to be simple.

But that’s what happened to Kevin Thompson, who became executive director of MoSH in January of 2020. 

Kevin joined me on The Sidebar to talk about how MoSH – which includes The Pink Palace, the Lichterman Nature Center and other facilities – weathered COVID and how it’s still recovering. 

Take a listen.

The Sidebar, which airs every Thursday at 11:30 a.m. on WYXR 91.7 FM, is also available as a podcast here on the site or wherever you get your podcasts.

Note: WYXR is a partnership between Crosstown Concourse, the University of Memphis and The Daily Memphian. As part of that partnership, I serve on the board of Crosstown Radio Partnership, which owns and oversees WYXR.
