Be among the first to welcome Melissa Chiu to D.C. as she assumes the role of director at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. The Australian-born former head of New York’s Asia Society Museum is here just in time to celebrate the Hirshhorn’s 40th anniversary.
Chiu’s hiring marks a new direction for the Hirshhorn, which was plagued by controversy under former director Richard Koshalek. She comes into the role as an able fundraiser with a strong background in the arts, particularly those from the Asia-Pacific. We are excited to hear and ask questions about how the Hirshhorn will grow, evolve and thrive under her leadership.
