Matthew Teitelbaum Named 11th Director of Museum of Fine Arts
After a nine-month-long, international search for a new director, the Museum of Fine Arts finally has a new director: Matthew Teitelbaum. He will take over for Malcolm Rogers on August 3, becoming the 11th director in the museum’s 145-year history, according to The Boston Globe.
Teitelbaum currently serves as the CEO and Director of the Art Gallery of Ontario. His resume includes a master of philosophy from Courtauld Institute of Art in London, and curator experience at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Boston.
Lisbeth Tarlow, chair of the MFA’s board of trustees, cited Teitelbaum’s leadership, commitment to scholarship, and ability to fundraise among the many other attributes that qualify him for the position. His predecessor, Rogers, also voiced his support.
“I’m very pleased with the selection of my successor,’’ said outgoing MFA director Malcolm Rogers. “He’s a wonderful professional. He has a great vision, and I’m sure the MFA is going to be in great hands.’’
