Recovering Art after an Earthquake
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2010-11-10/recovering-art-after-earthquake
The Haitian art world suffered great losses in the earthquake, with museums and galleries extensively damaged -- including Port-au-Prince's main art musuem, the Centre d'Art. A major recovery project is underway, headed by the Smithsonian and the Haitian government, to recover and restore as much of the artwork as possible. We'll talk to American and Haitian officials working on the project.
