Gallery Manager and Assistant Curator
Alexandra M. Cardon is the Gallery Manager and Assistant Curator of Samuel Bak Museum: The Learning Center. She envisions the future museum as a collaborative space that celebrates Samuel Bak’s oeuvre and educates viewers on the realities of the Holocaust, while also offering exhibitions that explore contemporary artistic responses to conflict, human rights, and genocide. Alexandra has worked in art museums and taught art history in universities and colleges. She began her museum career at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice after which she worked at the American and Canadian pavilions during 2003 Venice Biennale, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and in the Modern and Contemporary art department at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. She moved to Omaha in 2012 and worked for the sculptor Jun Kaneko as his studio’s registrar and archivist. She has taught at the Memphis College of Art and Christian Brothers College in Memphis, TN. She is an adjunct professor in the Art and Art history department and the Honors College at the University of Nebraska Omaha. Her research focuses on mid twentieth century European painting, particularly the production of art in the interwar years and painting in France after World War Two. Alexandra is invested in Omaha’s non-profit community and currently served on the Amplify Arts board.
Administrative Associate

Beth comes to the position with over 20 years in non-profit organizations and museums, including the Smithsonian Institution and Joslyn Art Museum.
