Executive Director

The Bruce cultivates discovery and wonder, engaging a broad audience through the power of art and science.

THE SEARCH

The Bruce Museum seeks a transformational and charismatic leader to serve as its next Executive Director. Working closely with the Board of Trustees and staff, the Executive Director will promote the Bruce’s goal to be “a center for inspiration and learning, where extraordinary art and science spark conversation, connection and creativity.”

The Bruce Museum is an American Alliance of Museums accredited institution that highlights art, science, and natural history in numerous permanent and changing exhibitions. Ahead of its time for taking this multidisciplinary approach over a century ago, the Bruce is a leader in bringing together art, science, technology, and creativity to generate moments of discovery and dialogue. The Bruce plays an integral role in the cultural life of area residents and attracts approximately 100,000 visitors annually.

In April 2023, the Bruce opened an expanded facility following a transformative $68 million capital campaign. The three-story, 43,000-square-foot addition more than doubles the size of the Museum and includes cutting-edge exhibition galleries and new education and community spaces.

The Bruce is primed for its next chapter. The ideal candidate will be committed to the strategic plan developed by the board and staff, with a proven ability to work collaboratively. The Executive Director will lead and support an innovative exhibition and public events programming schedule of the highest quality. Serving as an ambassador and key spokesperson, the Executive Director will be a visible leader in the community, representing the museum in Greenwich, the region, and beyond.
