Join Quincy Houghton, Deputy Director for Exhibitions and International Initiatives at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, as we revisit this year’s Betty Churcher AO Memorial Oration, recorded live at the National Gallery for International Women’s Day in March 2026.
Since 2022 this major annual event has honoured the legacy of Betty Churcher AO (1931–2015), a trailblazing Australian arts administrator and the first and only woman to lead the National Gallery.
In this talk Houghton draws on her three decades of experience shaping exhibitions at two of the world’s greatest museums – the J. Paul Getty Museum and The Met – while reflecting on her own personal journey and the evolving role of art galleries around the world at large.
