Musee des Arts Decoratifs director Christine Macel leaves for advisory role amid allegations of dysfunction at the museum

Christine Macel has accepted a new role as scientific and artistic adviser after two years as director due to a deeply rooted crisis at the museum.

The museum has acknowledged a governance and organization crisis following an audit, prompting concerns over staff well-being and leading to complaints and staff departures.

The dual leadership structure at the museum, involving both a director and a director-general, has been highlighted as a source of ongoing tension and management issues.

Macel's appointment followed significant changes in leadership, with her predecessor also facing difficulties that led to a lack of contract renewal.
