With Gratitude and Well-Wishes for the Next Great Adventure…

The staff, board, and volunteers of The Mini Time Machine Museum are extremely grateful for the outstanding work of William ‘Billy’ Russo. Billy brought his decades of artistic and management experience in the theater industry to our museum, cultivating new member and donor relationships, and crafting unique visitor experiences with a focus on visitor growth. Our latest exhibition, Stages of Imagination: The Iconic Broadway Designs of David Korins, has garnered national recognition, expanding the scope and creative boundaries of our exhibition programming, and propelling our museum onward toward a bright future. We all wish him much success in his next great adventure!

As we continue to build upon the legacy of our Founders, Pat and Walter Arnell, the museum’s Board of Directors is taking this moment of transition to outline strategies for the museum’s next chapter. Until the search for our next Executive Director is complete, the museum remains in excellent hands with our Interim Executive Director & Director of Finance, Bob Jennens.
