DONLEY G GRE 6 FrOM THE INTERIM DIRECTOR I am truly excited and honored to serve as the interim director of the Cleveland Museum of Art during such a critical juncture in the history of the museum. The community has offered me a warm welcome and I very much appreciate the efforts that have gone into making my arrival here comfortable.

Rafael Viñoly’s architectural concept has proved to be a spectacular success, and the east wing has whetted the community’s appetite for the completion of the entire project.
