The Minneapolis Institute of Art has named Ghenete Zelleke the James Ford Bell Curator of Decorative Arts and Sculpture. The department is the museum’s largest, boasting 18,000 pieces of furniture, textiles, silver, porcelain, glassware, and sculpture, as well as period rooms. Zelleke succeeds Eike Schmidt, a German art historian, who was recently named Director of Florence’s Uffizi Gallery.
