EPISODE 27 of ‘All About Art’: Interview with MUSEUM DIRECTOR DR. SABINE HAAG

For the All About Art Anniversary episode (!!! A year strong !!!), I sat down with the phenomenal Dr. Sabine Haag, director of the KHM-Museumsverband.

Sabine is an Austrian art historian and is the director of not only one of the most renowned museums worldwide, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, but also the associated institutions, as well, including the Vienna Museum of Ethnology and the Austrian Theater Museum. A woman who has set an example in the arts, Sabine has been leading the Museumsverband since 2009, so over a decade.

In this episode, I ask her all about her career path, starting from her education as an art historian and spanning to present day. I ask her about her role as director, and what that really entails. She gives advice to those seeking to follow in her footsteps, tells us what qualities she looks for in employees, and opens up about what it has been like leading a museum in a pandemic.

Thank you Sabine for taking the time to sit down and chat with me, as well as Natacha Graf and the rest of the team at the Generaldirektion at the Kunsthistorisches Museum for assisting in the facilitation of this marvelous episode, which was not only an absolute joy for me to record but will hopefully be enjoyable and educational to listen to.
