Press release: The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced today the endowment of the Museum’s directorship position, made possible by a generous donation from the Marina Kellen French Foundation and the Anna-Maria and Stephen Kellen Foundation. In recognition of this major gift—which will also provide important support for the Museum’s general operating expenses—the role of Director has been renamed the Marina Kellen French Director. Max Hollein, Director of The Met since 2018, is the position’s first incumbent, effective immediately.
