  • Mu.Zee Oostende
    Managing Director Ad Interim
    Mu.Zee Oostende Jun 2022 - Jun 2023
    Ostend, Flemish Region, Belgium
    It started as as summer replacement and grew into a super collaboration with the the beautiful and skilled Mu.ZEE team on two exhibitions: Raoul De Keyser and Anna Boch. Didn't know tendering of transport, depot and insurances would be leading to such a nice experience. Interaction with the board and general assembly, multi-annual budgeting, project subsidies, indemnity insurance and shared liability, work regulations,...came my direction, and were a pleasure to work on. Thank you Mu.ZEE for the opportunity to explore the museumcontext from a management point of view.
