David Franke

Consultant and Former Museum Trustee

Professional Bio

My professional career as an Architect spans forty five years with emphasis in recent years focused on museum and cultural institution store design and planning with a broad range of scope and geographical locations.
I also focus my enthusiasm for museums locally by having been an active member of the Mercer Museum and Fonthill Castle Board of Trustees for two six year terms years, a member of the Mercer Collections Committee and acting as past Chairman of the Governance Committee. During Henry Mercer’s Fonthill Castle’s centennial year, I organized and presented the program “Expression and Experimentation: The Building of Fonthill”. Previously, I sat on the Historical Society of Pennsylvania’s Building and Facilities Committee and was a member of the 50th Anniversary Advisory Council for the Pennsylvania Ballet.
