Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Director of the Victoria and Albert Museum is the head of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, a post currently held by Mark Jones. He is responsible for that institution's general administration and reports its accounts to the British Government. The actual governance of the Museum, however, is delegated to its Board of Trustees; these are appointed individually by the British Prime Minister. [1]
