Member of the Advisory Board
Help shape the art museum of the future
The Hague Museum of Art is seeking new members for its Advisory Board. The Advisory Board is an inspiring and diverse think tank of engaged professionals who advise the museum’s management on strategic and social issues, ranging from inclusion to entrepreneurship, and from audience engagement to programming. Together, we explore what the museum needs now and in the future.
ABOUT THE ART MUSEUM
The Hague Museum of Modern Art is one of Europe’s leading museums of modern art, with a collection of over 170,000 works of art and three locations: the Kunstmuseum, the Hague Museum of Photography, and KM21. Each year, we organize approximately 25 exhibitions, in addition to a diverse public and educational program.
Our starting point is The Hague’s rich collection of art and culture. From there, we develop multifaceted exhibitions and programs, both inside and outside our museum buildings. We do this in collaboration with artists and partners from The Hague, the Netherlands, and beyond. We believe in the power of looking together, learning together, and creating together.
We operate based on three core values: optimism, because we believe that art contributes to a more beautiful and just world; diversity of voices, because we make room for different perspectives and actively work toward representation and inclusion; and entrepreneurship, because we experiment, seek out opportunities, and continue to develop the museum in collaboration with our visitors and partners.
ABOUT THE ADVISORY BOARD
The Advisory Board was established in 2020 and meets two or three times a year. The board provides advice to the museum’s management and relevant staff, whether solicited or unsolicited, on strategic issues such as:
- Diversity and Inclusion
- Reaching new audiences
- Marketing and Positioning
- Social developments and urban integration
