In fact, the Museum closed just over a week after Mr. Litwin's visit in early March 2020. I did not record another onsite interview in the Museum's familiar black-curtain studio space for nearly two and a half years (until July 2022). In the interim, oral histories were exclusively recorded via Zoom, telephone and, on rare occasion, in larger open spaces at the Museum. - Stephen Fagin, Curator"]},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"66101"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"Duration: 45 Minutes"},"height":{"label":"Height","value":["0E-10"]}}]}
