Summary
Graham Boettcher, the director and CEO of the Birmingham Museum of Art for the past nine years, is leaving after twenty years. He started as a curatorial fellow in 2006 and rose to curator of American art before leading the museum to national recognition. Boettcher grew the museums endowment, made key acquisitions, and steered it through the pandemic. He is moving to lead the Norman Rockwell Museum in Massachusetts. Chantal Drake, the deputy director, will serve as interim leader, and a national search for a permanent replacement will begin.
