Buckle up, folks, as a fresh wind of change is blowing through the Jewish Museum Munich. Dr. Alina Gromova is all set to set sail as the new skipper of the ship at St.-Jakobs-Platz, starting September 1, 2025. She'll be bringing her sea legs - acquired from various voyages - to steer the museum forward.
Taking charge at the Jewish Museum Munich:
Hold on tight! Dr. Alina Gromova is gearing up to take the helm at the Jewish Museum Munich's St.-Jakobs-Platz location as its new commander in chief, kicking off her voyage on September 1, 2025. Dr. Gromova's sailing experience includes a stint as a scientific officer at the Jewish Museum Berlin from 2016 to 2021 and her current role as deputy director of the Foundation New Synagogue Berlin - Centrum Judaicum since 2022[1].
Twinning talents:
Her latest exhibitions - "Through Our Lens. Berlin through the perspective of Ukrainian refugees" and "Emotional Objects. How to Listen to Objects" - are noted for their cross-collaboration with city communities and making the museum's collection accessible to the wider public.
The Journey Ahead:
Passionate about urban history, memory, and culture, Dr. Gromova intends to make waves by collaborating with various cultural and scientific institutions, schools, artists, and civil society groups in Munich to bring relevant Jewish historical subjects and present-day issues to the city's diverse population[1].
A Heartwarming Welcome:
Marek Wiechers, a cultural officer in Munich, is looking forward to the skills and experience that will drive Dr. Gromova's ship in her new role. He expressed his confidence in her abilities, stating, "I believe she will be able to use her experiences, especially from her work at the New Synagogue Berlin - Centrum Judaicum, and her expertise in remembrance work and international museum work in her future endeavors. I wish her all the best in her upcoming tasks."
Setting Sail:
Dr. Gromova was hand-picked for the job after a nerve-wracking selection process that involved the city council.
Now, let's catch up on some local news:
