Nicholas Cullinan’s appointment was approved by the board of trustees and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
The new director of the British Museum has said he will oversee “the most significant transformations, both architectural and intellectual” when he takes up the role in the summer.
“I look forward to joining its wonderful and dedicated staff and to work with its hugely impressive board in leading it into a new chapter. Mr Cullinan invited his close friend US singer Courtney Love to DJ the opening and she most recently returned to play tracks at the National Portrait Gallery’s gala in March where she cosied up to him during the event.The widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain called him her “soulmate” and her “family for life” in 2017 on Instagram and they attended the GQ Men of the Year Awards at the Tate Modern together that year.
“I could not be more thrilled for Nick and more excited for us as we enter this new chapter in the long story of the British Museum with confidence, and back on the front foot.”Art historian Mr Cullinan, who studied at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London, was awarded an OBE for services to the arts in the 2024 King’s New Years Honours list.
The Parthenon sculptures from Greece, large stone statues from Easter Island, and the Benin Bronzes are among the disputed possessions.
