Alia Nour Named Assistant Curator

Alia Nour

The Museum is delighted to welcome Alia Nour to the curatorial staff. Ms. Nour first worked with Dr. David Farmer on Dahesh Museum of Art's last exhibition In Pursuit of the Exotic. This spring she will organize our second exhibition at Syracuse University's Lubin House--Becoming an Artist: The Academy in 19th-Century France--opening February 2010 at the Palitz Gallery, East 61 Street, in NYC.

Born in Egypt, Ms. Nour received her BA in Middle Eastern Studies at American University in Cairo and an MA in Museum Professions at Seton Hall University, where she worked with the respected 19th-century art historian Dr. Petra Chu. As she pursues doctoral studies in art history at Rutgers University, Ms. Nour will continue to curate exhibitions, research art works in the Museum's collection, and work with Dr. Farmer on developing traveling exhibitions for specific locales.
