Author: Carole Charnow

I am proud to be the President and CEO of Boston Children’s Museum. Ironically, my professional career in arts and culture began in 1981 when I presented my first children’s play at the Boston Children’s Museum. For the next 30 years I worked in the theatre, in music and in opera as a teacher, director, producer and arts educator. I lived in London for 15 years where I met and married my husband, Clive. We have two grown sons. I became the Museum President in 2010 and get enormous satisfaction from my job. I love meeting children and their families, and working with the Museum’s outstanding staff and Board. I’m excited to hear from you via this blog. Please send me your thoughts and ideas - let’s get talking!
