metropolitan museum of art trump dei programs

Metropolitan Museum of Art director Max Hollein stated in an interview with French publication Le Quotidien de l'Art that the Trump administration's push to eliminate federal DEI programs will not affect the Met, as it is a private organization not subject to those executive orders. The interview, conducted during the Centre Pompidou's 'TransFORMS' exhibition dedicated to Hollein's father, architect Hans Hollein, also covered deaccessioning, repatriation, and the upcoming opening of the renovated Michael C. Rockefeller Wing.
