Museum Director resigns in protest of Nungesser

In announcing his resignation, Chester laid out a laundry list of issues with Nungesser’s oversight of the State Museum, including interference in staffing and management decisions.

Nungesser also has used the museum’s property for his own personal use, Chester said. That includes a vacant apartment in the Lower Pontalba on Jackson Square, which had previously been used for guest speakers.

Nungesser said he had personally used the apartment two or three times and noted Chester had stayed there for several weeks when he was first hired. Other uses have included hosting legislators, tourism officials, musicians and the grandson of the woman who donated the building to the state.

The museum has never been denied use of the apartment when it has asked for it, he said.

In addition, he said, Nungesser has been seeking to convert another, more desirable apartment in the building into a personal pad, which would involve construction that would alter the unit’s historic character.

Nungesser is and always has been a crooked douchebag.
