British Museum director Hartwig Fischer will step down, leaving the unresolved Parthenon Marbles debate to his successor:
Hartwig Fischer will step down from his role as director of the British Museum next year and his replacement, who will be determined after an international search, will inherit the institution’s controversies.
The British Museum said in the announcement that Fischer had helmed the institution for “eight successful years,” and that he will support the transition efforts. Osborne touted Fischer’s championing of what he called “brilliant exhibitions” like “Stonehenge” and “China’s Hidden Century.” Some of Fischer’s accomplishments include the creation of a new research and storage facility, an archaeological research collection , the refurbishments of galleries at the museum’s Bloomsbury site, and the launching of major collaborative research projects on four continents.
