Mütter Museum’s executive director tries to chart new paths as criticism mounts
The article discusses the leadership of Quinn, currently the head of Mütter Museum, Philadelphia. Quinn’s style of making decisions and managing exhibits has drawn both praise and criticism from her current and former colleagues. Under her leadership, more than ten people quit during her first nine months at the Mütter Museum, and an advocacy group called “Protect the Mütter” has called for her removal. However, Quinn asserts that leaders need to make decisions, even unpopular ones, and aims to make the museum focus more on current issues. There are also questions regarding Quinn’s previous leadership positions at the Penn Museum and the Michener Art Museum.
