What is an art museum?
An art museum is a public institution primarily concerned with the exhibition of works of art, staffed by professionals, governed by a Board of Directors and led by a Director or CEO. Art museums vary in size. Some are very large, employing hundreds of people, while others are smaller, employing only a few people. Small or large, art museums all present works of art to the public.
What does an art museum Director do?
Art museum Directors are responsible for the oversight of all art museum functions including artistic/curatorial direction, collections, exhibitions, educational & public programs, human resources, finances, fundraising, marketing, and facilities.
