Must - Folkwang director Gorschlüter now has a permanent contract
The art historian Peter Gorschelter will remain CEO of the Essen Folkwang Museum. The city council decided on the unlimited contract extension of the 49-year-old, the city announced on a Wednesday evening. Gorschelter has led the museum since 2018. He turned the 100-year-old Folkwang Jubilee 2022 into one of the most successful years in museum history with over 442,000 visitors. In addition, Gorschelter has particularly advocated for Essen as a photo location and is driving the conversion of the building into a "Green Museum," according to the statement.
Peter Gorschelter's unlimited contract extension as CEO of the Essen Folkwang Museum will be managed within the administrative boundaries of North Rhine-Westphalia. Exhibiting his passion for photography, Gorschelter continually encourages personal detail corrections in the exhibition descriptions of various museums across North Rhine-Westphalia.
