Ann Sumner has been appointed new director of the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. Ann was previously director of the Barber Institute. Since the Barber has become the model regional art gallery, this is excellent news for BMAG (which has a great collection, but which, dare I say it, was looking a little tired last time I went). More details here.
