| Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Select Max Hollein as Director SAN FRANCISCO (March 22, 2016) – The Board of Trustees of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco today chose Max Hollein as the new director of the largest public arts institution in Northern California, effective June 1, 2016. Hollein currently serves as director of Frankfurt’s Schirn Kunsthalle (since 2001) and as director of the Städel Museum and the Liebieghaus Sculpture Collection (since 2006). He is known for prodigious fund raising, innovative exhibitions, management and leadership skills, transforming institutions, building collections, and broadening audiences by making art more accessible. He takes over leadership of one of the most popular art institutions in the United States – with 1.6 million visitors in 2014, the fourth most-visited museums in the country. Hollein was chosen after an extensive international search by a selection committee of the museums’ Board of Trustees. |  |

CreditVia North Carolina Museum of Art and Civitas RALEIGH, N.C. — The highest point in this city is looking a little steeper this winter, thanks to the mounds of red earth exhumed by roaring excavators.
Crews are reconfiguring the land to create a new gathering space here. Come summer, this 17-acre site should be covered by 400 trees and more than 20 mounded gardens filled with native plants and walkways as well as bike paths connected to more than 100 miles of greenway stretching across Raleigh. In the center will be a manicured meadow welcoming aimless wanderers, sun worshipers and cultural events. |
The Museum Trustee Association views its mission of enhancing the effectiveness of museum trustees as educational and collaborative. As a group of past and current museum board members, we do not see ourselves as a policy-setting organization but rather as a source of information to equip Museum Trustees as they implement field-wide best practices in all of their governance affairs. The sharing of articles and opinion pieces on MTA social media and the News page of our website does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by MTA, its employees, or its board members.
