  • TDE EP36 - Strong Museum Assistant VP Jeremy Saucier
    Mar 14 2024

    Jeremy Saucier is Assistant VP at The Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, New York.

    Jeremy talks to us about the history and evolution of the Strong Museum and its pedagogical remit - from American history and Industrialisation to a focus on play - and gives us a fascinating insight into the day-to-day management of a museum.

    With a doctoral degree in history and a degree in American Studies, Jeremy was a natural fit for his role at The Strong, with its extensive archive of original material, from concept art and design documents to internal company memos from Video Arcade stalwarts such as Williams, Bally and most notably Atari.
