Farewell to Sabine Haag: One last custody in the KHM!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The era of Sabine Haag as General Director of the Kunsthistorisches Museum (KHM) is coming to an end. After 16 years at the top and a total of 35 years in the KHM, on December 31, 2024, it will settle its function at midnight. On Tuesday, December 10th, the museum invites all art lovers to a last open Evening under the motto "Museum for everyone", where the collections can be visited freely and without registration from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Visitors are introduced in the highlights of the collection and have the opportunity to discover Haag's favorite objects, reports APA-OTS

In a farewell interview, Haag said positively during her term. It takes a balance sheet that comprises a visitor record and economic success of around 20 million euros for 2024. Her successor Jonathan Fine will take over the scepter on January 1, 2025. Haag itself plans to enjoy freedom after her resignation and is optimistic about the future of the museum. "I am happy about the long time I was able to spend here and that I can hand over the KHM Museum Association in a very strong, economically solid state," she told The press . On New Year's Eve, she does not want to be in the museum, but would like to welcome the new year in a convivial atmosphere, which makes her farewell at a deliberately chosen time.
