The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art today announced that Julián Zugazagoitia will replace outgoing director and CEO Mark F. Wilson. Zugazagoitia will be the 75-year-old museum’s fifth director.

A press release issued this afternoon by the Nelson details Zugazagoitia’s credentials and background and helpfully includes a phonetic pronunciation of the 46-year-old’s name.
