New York, April 10, 2025 <\/strong>\u2013 Museums Next Generation, the signature program launched by Villa Albertine, the French Institute for Culture and Education, to foster the vibrancy and relevance of curatorial practice in the US and France, has welcomed seven emerging French curators to the United States for a two-week program of immersion and professional exchange in April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now in its third year, Museums Next Generation was launched by Villa Albertine in 2023 to contribute to the advancement of future curators and museum directors that are opened to the world and interested in collaborating more closely between France and the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seven laureates represent 6 different French regions and varied areas of expertise, from antiquity to contemporary art. In April 2025, they traveled to the United States for a program that will build upon their already rich professional experience. The group is spending one week in Texas and a second week in New York and on the East Coast, visiting institutions including the Kimbell Art Museum, the Menil Collection, the Rothko Chapel, the Clark Art Institute, Mass MoCA, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mohamed Bouabdallah<\/strong>, Cultural Counselor of France and Director of Villa Albertine, spoke to the range of experience of the assembled curators. \u201cThis year\u2019s cohort of French curators visiting the United States represent many of the unique aspects of our country\u2019s material culture and history. Collectively, their knowledge will be further enhanced by this immersive experience in two regions of the US known as repositories of the arts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
