Her story is totally engrossing. http://orlando.tamretail.net/SelectEvent.aspx?eventid=1005035 Tuesday, November 3 Metropolitan Stories by Catherine Coulson Catherine Coulson worked at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for 25 years. In a series of vignettes, she writes about the behind the scenes world of the Met and the powerful voices of the art itself.
