Griswold To Depart MIA For Morgan Library

In a surprising move first reported by AJ Blogger Tyler Green, Minneapolis Institute of Arts director William Griswold is stepping down after less than two years on the job to become director of New York’s prestigious Morgan Library. MIA opened a major expansion during Griswold’s brief tenure, and his departure means that Minneapolis’s two most prestigious museums (the Walker Art Center is the other) will be searching for new leadership simultaneously.
