Lindsey Richardson, Curator of Collections, The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza

“Working with Gallery Systems’ web team on the Seattle Art Museum’s Chinese Painting and Calligraphy OSCI project meant having highly knowledgeable support and leadership directly from architects of our database systems, TMS and eMuseum, which are the basis for the online catalog.”
