Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum names new director
After an eight-month long international search, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum has named its new director.
Peggy Fogelman, a Connecticut native, will take over the post in January, according to a Boston Globe report.
Fogelman, 54, is currently the director of collections at The Morgan Library & Museum in New York, which like the Gardner, began from a private collection.
“I was not interested in becoming a director for the sake of being a director,’’ Fogelman told the Globe. “I kind of fell in love with the museum. It was a dance of seduction, and I was completely won over.’’
Outgoing director Anne Hawley, who held the position for more than 25 years, called Fogelman’s hire a “home run’’ for the museum.
