Victoria Munro, the executive director of the Alice Austen House Museum on Staten Island, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the legacy of Alice Austen, a pioneering female photographer and key figure in LGBTQ+ history. Munro emphasizes the importance of the museum in creating a community space that facilitates LGBTQ+ visibility and storytelling, inspired by Austen's artistic contributions and life experiences. The museum serves not only as a cultural institution but also as an educational platform celebrating diversity and inclusion.
"Alice Austen's bold artistic vision and remarkable life story deeply inform our programming-both in the museum and the surrounding public park... to serve as cultural anchors within their communities."
