Historical Note
A Department of Administration was created in 1971 to oversee the daily operations of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden (HMSG). It was also responsible for coordinating the various stages of exhibition preparation to ensure completion of each exhibition. Joseph Sefekar was the first Administrator and served until 1978. The Office was renamed the Department of Administration and Museum Support Services in 1979, and Nancy L. Kirkpatrick became its Director, a position she retained through 1981.
