Christine Coulson


Website


Christine Coulson began her career at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1991 as a summer intern in the European Paintings Department. She returned in 1994 and, over the next 25 years, rose through the ranks of the Museum, working in the Development Office, the Director’s Office, and the Department of European Sculpture and Decorative Arts.
In 2017, Coulson was given a yearlong sabbatical from the Met to write her first novel, Metropolitan Stories, after she published this personal essay in The New York Times.

She left the Met in April 2019 to write full-time.

Quotes by Christine Coulson  (?)

“Survival is a funny business, too. A losing game. Literally. They love us, and we lose them all. The ones who made us, the ones who gave us, the ones who sat down and played with us, the ones who held us, or just laid eyes on us. The ones who bought, traded, and sold us. Cleaned us, redeemed us, brought back the sheen on us. Loved us. Learned everything there is to know about us.”
Christine Coulson, Metropolitan Stories

“We protect them and save them and study them. After a time, we realize—some of us slower than others—that they are protecting us, saving us, studying us.”
Christine Coulson, Metropolitan Stories

“He had learned long ago not to comfort the rich. They paid others for that.”
Christine Coulson, Metropolitan Stories
