Catholic Museum’s Angels Fail to Save It

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Tahlib

New York City's Catholic Museum of Art & History officially closed this week.

The museum opened in 1995, occupying temporary space in several Manhattan office buildings. In 1998 it moved to East Harlem, where it began leasing and renovating the former Our Lady of Mount Carmel School, a rundown building that private donations, government grants and donated labor from unions helped transform into a state-of-the-art exhibition space. The museum’s Web site, nmcah.org, values the renovations at $15 million, though Ms. Cox said the cost may have been less.

As posted last week, I tried to make contact with the museum's director Christina Cox last year. Maybe I could have helped and maybe not, but it's too bad to see its doors officially closed. RIP NMCAH.
