Museum of History & Industry

Seattle's Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) appointed Devorah Romanek as chief of exhibits and interpretive services. Romanek, an anthropologist and art historian, oversees the development, research, presentation, and care of MOHAI's collection. She will lead the museum in the development of its current exhibits and programs and drive momentum for the museum's future growth, building on the museum's focus to foster connections between past and present. Romanek served as curator of exhibits and head of interpretation at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology at the University of New Mexico, where she oversaw all exhibit and program work. Romanek holds a PhD in Anthropology and Material Culture from University College, London, and has written widely on cultural history, most recently Hardship, Greed and Sorrow (2020, University of Oklahoma Press), which looks at historic photographs from the Civil War era. She has extensive experience designing and producing exhibits and developing interpretive programs at all scales and across many topics and multiple countries, working with many constituents and communities. A Smithsonian Affiliate since 2009, MOHAI is dedicated to enriching lives through preserving, sharing, and teaching the diverse history of Seattle, the Puget Sound region, and the nation.
