• The Real Reason Hannah Rothschild Stepped Down As Chair Of London’s National Gallery

  08-07-2019 21:29 via feedproxy.google.com
  What her statement didn’t mention was an acrimonious dispute over the dismissals of 27 gallery lecturers and educators that has hung over the organisation for nearly two years, seen the intervention of numerous politicians, and was, say insiders, one of the reasons Rothschild stepped down “with sadness” two years before she was due to go. – The Observer
