The warmth of the employees
Francisco Calvo Serraller, Museum Director, 1993-1994The warmth of the employees
Francisco Calvo Serraller, Museum Director, 1993-1994
Some two weeks or a month after I resigned, the employees at the Museum organized a tribute for me. I had taken the resignation very well. It hadn’t caused me any trauma. I was completely convinced I was doing the right thing. But the tribute was tough, because suddenly you find yourself whisked off by popular demand to a restaurant and everyone tells you you’re marvelous, when previously everybody had had it in for you, … well it’s very emotional.
Director of the Museo del Prado from 1993 to 1994, he was a founding member and Trustee of the Board of the Friends of the Museo del Prado Foundation. Moreover, he was Professor of Art History at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, the curator of several exhibitions and an art critic.
