We are delighted to welcome Tone Hansen as the new Museum Director of Moderna Museet from 1 September 2026. The Minister for Culture, Parisa Liljestrand, announced the museum’s new Museum Director at a press conference on Monday 8 June 2026. Tone Hansen will take up her position on 1 September 2026.<\/p>\n

Most recently, Tone Hansen served as Director of MUNCH ↗<\/a> in Oslo. Prior to that, she led Henie Onstad Kunstsenter ↗<\/a>. She brings extensive experience in museum development, strategic leadership and in strengthening the role of art institutions in society.<\/p>\n

– I approach this appointment with both pride and humility. My ambition is to shape a new direction for Moderna Museet and to build a stronger, more innovative and knowledge-driven organisation within one of the world’s most influential museums, with art, architecture, design and audiences at its heart, says Tone Hansen.<\/p>\n

On 31 August 2026, Gitte Ørskou will step down as Museum Director of Moderna Museet. Since January 2026, Moderna Museet, ArkDes and the Public Art Agency have formed a single government agency under the name Moderna Museet.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
