"The Philadelphia Art Museum is one of America's great cultural treasures, with an extraordinary collection, a dedicated staff, and deep connections to its community,"

Daniel H. Weiss, former president and CEO of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, will begin as director and CEO of the Philadelphia Art Museum on December 1. Weiss served eight years at the Met and has been a professor and senior adviser to the provost for the arts at Johns Hopkins University. The appointment is described as providing stability through at least 2028 for staff, stakeholders, and the community. The museum faces lingering controversy after Sasha Suda’s abrupt dismissal, an email on November 4 terminating her for "cause," and her subsequent lawsuit alleging trustees accused her of "misusing Museum funds for personal gain."
