In this episode, Emma Jacobs discusses her book, The Little(r) Museums of Paris, part guide-part travelogue through Paris’ landscape of small museums, from the better-known to deeply obscure. Deeply-researched and hand-illustrated, it includes stories and highlights of the collections and conversations with conservators, museum founders and artists.

Emma is a multimedia journalist and illustrator who has reported internationally for NPR, Marketplace and PRI’s The World. Her work has appeared in The New York Times and The Washington Post. The Little(r) Museums of Paris (2019, Running Press) is her first book.

Stephanie Nadalo, PhD, will moderate the conversation. Stephanie is a museum educator and Assistant Professor of Art History at Parsons Paris, the European division of Parsons School of Design.  When she is not in the classroom she works as a licensed guide to design and deliver engaging museum pedagogy within Parisian institutions including the Louvre, Rodin Museum, and the Museum of Jewish Art and History.  In addition, she currently serves as the Interim Director of the Parsons Paris MA program in the History of Design and Curatorial Studies.
