KEARNEY, Neb. -- The Museum of Nebraska Art has announced its new executive director.
MONA announced Thursday that Andrew Dunehoo will take the reins starting on Monday, Nov. 6.
Dunehoo's most recent job was at the Indian Museum of North America in South Dakota.
His previous experience includes managing a museum in Colorado, being a historical interpreter at a museum in Kansas and adjunct professor at the University of South Dakota/Indian University of North America.
He has served on regional and national boards and committees for museum professionals.
He is currently board president of the Mountain Plains Museum Association and serves as spokesman for the museum profession across a 10-state region.
“The MPMA advocates for national funding in the arts and humanities and promotes collaboration among various institutions and disciplines,” said Sue Quambusch, board president. “Andrew’s board service will help position our organization to receive recognition and representation within our region as well as on a national scale.”
At the moment, MONA is undergoing a $31.5 million renovation, restoration and expansion.
The project is set to finish in May of 2024 and is expected to reopen late summer or early fall of 2024.
