Timeline
On 25 September 2015, the trustees of the British Museum announced that Fischer would be the museum's next director. He is the first non-British head of the museum since the Italian Sir Anthony Panizzi stood down in 1866. He took up the appointment on 4 May 2016.
Fischer began his career at the Kunstmuseum Basel, an art museum in Basel, Switzerland. There, between 2001 and 2006, he was curator of 19th-century and modern art. He became director of the Museum Folkwang in Essen in 2006 where he presided over a period of expansion. In December 2011, he was appointed director of the Dresden State Art Collections (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden). Subsequently, he succeeded Martin Roth, after Roth left to take charge at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Hartwig Fischer (born 14 December 1962) is a German art historian and museum director. Since April 2016, he has been director of the British Museum, the first non-British head of the museum since 1866. From 2012 to 2016, he was director of the Dresden State Art Collections (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden).
Fischer was born on 14 December 1962 in Hamburg, West Germany. His father came from Mecklenburg. As a child, Fischer glimpsed the art galleries while visiting relatives farther to the south, in Dresden in the then (from 1949 until 1989) separate East German state. He undertook postgraduate research on Hermann Prell, for which he received a doctorate degree from the University of Bonn (Universität Bonn) in 1994. He is fluent in German, French, Italian and English.
In his role as director, he has supported the controversial British possession of the Elgin Marbles, which were taken from the Parthenon in Athens by agents of Lord Elgin in the early 1800s. A poll suggested that more British people (37%) supported the marbles' restoration to Greece than opposed it (23%). In January 2019, he gave an interview in which he suggested the taking of the marbles was a "creative act", reaffirmed the British Museum's position of not loaning them to other museums (they are prevented from returning them through British law), and stated that they were owned by the museum's trustees, rather than Greece. The Greek Minister of Culture and Sports, Myrsini Zorba, described such views as "remnants of colonialism", while George Vardas, the secretary of the International Association for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures, described Fischer's views as "astonishing historical revisionism and arrogance".
