Chantilly Legacy

Dr. Susan's family estate near the Château de Chantilly - a hybrid family enclave and culturally significant site. Goal: a self-sustaining model that honors her parents' legacy and reaches an American audience, without becoming "a ball and chain."

The Situation
Family estate, racecourse training track, intertwined with the Chantilly domain.

Acquired ~50 years ago to "bring culture to LA and preserve culture in France." Surrounded by art, manuscripts, gardens, the world's largest horse stable, polo, steeplechase, car shows, and flower shows.

Stated aspiration: a €75–100M capital campaign and the transformation of a building - reframed by Joanna from "visitor center" to legacy/institute.

Core Goal
Self-sustaining business/fundraising model reaching an American audience.
The Clock
~6 years left with the current museum director.
Next Milestone
November 8th - Prince Amin and the full curator on site.
