Omschrijving

A rare glimpse behind the scenes of the world's most influential museums

Who are the people shaping the world's most renowned museums? In this captivating book, Donatien Grau offers a rare glimpse behind the scenes of leading art institutions and their visionary directors. Through insightful conversations with some of the most influential figures in the museum world, he reveals how they opened their doors to ever-growing audiences while preserving artistic excellence.

From the Louvre in Paris to the Guggenheim in New York, these personal accounts explore the balance between curatorial vision, cultural responsibility, and the evolving role of museums in society. The book sheds light on the people, ideas, and strategies that have transformed museums into cultural landmarks.

Part personal reflection, part cultural history, this volume reads like a thrilling journey through the corridors of power, art, and public engagement. A must-read for art lovers, cultural professionals, and anyone curious about what happens beyond the museum walls.

Featuring interviews with: Michel Laclotte (Louvre), Sir Alan Bowness (Tate), Sir Timothy Clifford (National Galleries of Scotland), Philippe de Montebello (Metropolitan Museum of Art), Irina Antonova (Pushkin Museum), Peter-Klaus Schuster (Staatliche Museen zu Berlin), Sir Mark Jones (V&A), Tom Krens (Guggenheim), Wilfried Seipel (KHM), Henri Loyrette (Musée d'Orsay, Louvre).

DONATIEN GRAU(1987) is an internationally recognized critic, scholar, and museum executive. Named one of Apollo Magazine's "Forty under Forty Europe" in 2014, he is a leading voice in the dialogue between contemporary culture and classical institutions. Grau currently serves as Head of Contemporary Programs at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where he shapes innovative exhibitions and fosters global conversations on art, museums, and cultural policy. His work bridges scholarship and practice, making him one of the most influential cultural figures of his generation.
