A degree in petroleum engineering is not the usual training ground for a museum administrator. But then, Stefano Catalani, director of art, craft and design at Bellevue Arts Museum, located outside Seattle, Wash., is not your usual arts administrator.
A native of Genazzano, south of Rome, Catalani seamlessly blends a scientific background, with its focus on analytic skills and attention to detail, with a sophisticated aesthetic and a talent for creating thought-provoking conversations. It's a perfect combination for Bellevue Arts Museum whose innovative exhibits on design and craft attracted 80,000 visitors last year.
