Governor Kathy Hochul and Commissioner of Education Betty A. Rosa today announced the members of the New York State Museum Visioning Task Force, a diverse group of nationally recognized museum leaders, government stakeholders, educators, historians, leaders in public science education and engagement, tourism professionals, and economic development experts who will help shape a clear, sustainable, and forward-looking framework to guide the Museum’s long-term revitalization.
