Museene i Sør-Trøndelag, MiST, requires a new Director for Trondheim 
Kunstmuseum. This is a six-year fixed-term vacancy, with the possibility 
of extension. The Director is responsible for leading strategic and 
operational duties at the museum.

Trondheim Kunstmuseum owns Norway's third largest public art collection, 
divided over two venues in central Trondheim. TKM Bispegata has a main 
focus on the collections and contemporary art, whereas TKM Gråmølna is 
dedicated to showing contemporary art and the art works gifted by Bleken 
and Sitter. Trondheim Kunstmuseum is an active museum, producing several 
exhibitions every year, with accompanying events. There are currently 
15.5 FTEs at the museum.

Trondheim Kunstmuseum is part of Museene i Sør-Trøndelag (MiST), a large 
organisation with potential for further development. The Director at 
Trondheim Kunstmuseum is a board member at MiST, along with the 
Administrative Director and the Directors from the other eight MiST museums.

Essential requirements:
–Minimum MA in History of Art or Fine Arts
–Formal leadership training or relevant experience
–Good language skills
–Previous museum experience

The Director at Trondheim Kunstmuseum leads the committed and competent 
staff, and reports to the Administrative Director of MiST. The Director 
must display a high level of involvement and convey a clear direction 
for the museum, contributing to make the museum a functional and leading 
organisation in its field.

Trondheim Kunstmuseum is to be developed as an educational hub, offering 
research resources and active learning programmes. The Director must 
demonstrate excellent collaboration skills with staff, the MiST board, 
and external collaborative partners. The Director must include, motivate 
and inspire his/her employees, and must have the ability to delegate 
work in order to utilise staff competency productively and ensure a 
positive work environment.

The successful candidate will have a solid background in the arts, an 
ability to see projects through to completion, and to make bold 
decisions on behalf of Trondheim Kunstmuseum.
