Nathalie Bondil, the former director of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) who was forced out last summer after a row with the board chair, has now been appointed as the head of the museums and exhibitions division at the Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA) in Paris.
Run by France and 23 Arab states, the IMA opened in 1987 on the left bank of the Seine in a building designed by Jean Nouvel. The French curator was selected to fulfill a three-year mandate there by a jury chaired by Yannick Lintz, the head of the Islamic department at the Louvre Museum, and included Leila Shahid, the former ambassador for Palestine at Unesco, the Lebanese architect Hala Warde and Laurent Le Bon, the director of the Picasso Museum in Paris. Her appointment in Paris comes less than one year after she was fired from the MMFA, which she is suing for unfair dismissal.

CAIRO: Ancient Egyptian artifacts that were part of a touring exhibition to Europe and the US have returned home, the country’s Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities has said.
“The Secrets of Sunken Egypt” featured items that had been discovered underwater, in the Mediterranean Sea, in Alexandria.
Mostafa Waziry, secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, said the show had achieved great success in all of its host cities.
Waziry added that the exhibition began its worldwide tour at the Institute of the Arab World in Paris in 2015, moving to the British Museum and then onto Zurich’s Rietberg Museum, which was the last stop in its European journey.
