Ann Philbin, who has led Los Angeles’ Hammer Museum for 25 years, will be retiring from the museum on Nov. 1, 2024.
Marcy Carsey, chair of the UCLA Hammer Museum’s board of directors, made the announcement on Wednesday, saying in a statement, “When the history of the Hammer Museum is written, there will be a clear line drawn— before Annie Philbin, and after Annie Philbin.

We are profoundly grateful for her leadership and the values she has imbued into every level of this institution.”
