The Texas Historical Commission honored Howard Taylor, director of the San Angelo Museum of Art with the only John L. Nau award for museum excellence for 2010. “I’m really surprised and delighted because we’re not a history museum,” Taylor said; but Jud Gray, a San Angelo philanthropist who nominated Taylor for the award, cited his vision of making the community and its historic preservation “the greatest work of art” through adaptive re-use of historic buildings as ample justification.
