Working at MoMA: How Does a Museum’s Event Planner Do Her Job?

Like any museum of its scale, MoMA relies on major donations. Which, of course, means throwing major events to match.

This week Jordan talks to Tania Abitbol, MoMA’s in-house event planner. Tania is the person charged with dreaming up events worthy of MoMA-lovers. To do her job right, Tania has to make sure every detail of each party is interesting, memorable and, just as important, perfectly executed. She tells Jordan about the tiny details that can inspire entire events and how she completely transforms the museum’s lobby and sculpture garden for a massive fundraiser every year.
