Under a proposed lease between the city and the museum, the NC Children's Museum will renovate and upgrade the Imperial Centre facilities, then operate and program the space — bringing a major new anchor for families right into the heart of downtown.We also trace Jamie's path from college to a career in the Museums of North Carolina, and what it takes to lead a statewide institution.
