met museum maria castro curator hire 1234752618
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has hired Maria Castro as an associate curator in its modern and contemporary department, a role she will begin later this month. Castro joins from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where she served as associate curator of painting and sculpture and co-organized exhibitions including a current permanent collection hang and a show centered on Henri Matisse's "Femme au chapeau" (1905). Her appointment comes as the Met prepares for the opening of the Oscar L. and H.M. Agnes Hsu-Tang Wing in 2030, a major expansion that is driving departmental growth.
