In January 2006, Christopher Leitch was appointed Director of Kansas City Museum at Corinthian Hall. The Museum is located in a 100-year old Beaux Arts mansion in Kansas City, and is devoted to local and regional history. Leitch will focus on raising visibility of the venerable institution, implementing new public programs, and will develop a Costume Institute to exhibit and publish the collection of more than 15,000 historic garments and functional textiles. www.kcmuseum.com
