When Don Bacigalupi arrived as director of the San Diego Museum of Art in 1999, the museum was considered a difficult job. “What a difference four years and new leadership makes. The museum has risen to national respectability by generating high-quality exhibitions touching on all areas of the collection, revitalizing the collection itself through judicious acquisitions, and establishing a collegial relationship with other museums in Balboa Park, across town, across the United States and beyond.” Now Bacigalupi departs to head up the Toledo Art Museum.
