September 16 is Ask a Curator Day on social media, and MFAH wants to hear from you! The topic is Mark Rothko, so participants can send their curatorial queries and MFAH will get the answers straight from the Museum's own Alison de Lima Greene, curator of contemporary art and special projects, and curatorial assistant Althea Ruoppo.
