Kunsthaus Zürich Appoints Remo Longhi as New Head of Operations
The Facts
On September 30, 2025, Kunsthaus Zürich announced the appointment of Remo Longhi as its new Head of Operations, effective January 2026. Longhi will oversee finance, administration, security, IT, and infrastructure, and will join the executive board, working with director Ann Demeester and the board of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft to support the museum's strategic development. He holds a degree in business administration and has served as Commercial Director and Deputy Director of the Fotomuseum Winterthur since 2018, and previously as Commercial Director and Co-Director of the Internationale Kurzfilmtage Winterthur.
The Signal
The appointment signals a continued institutional focus on operational stability and strategic consolidation at Switzerland's largest art museum. For collectors and curators, the choice of a candidate with a strong background in financial and operational management rather than curatorial experience reflects a broader trend among major museums to prioritize robust administrative frameworks alongside artistic programming. Longhi's track record at the Fotomuseum Winterthur suggests he will bring expertise in optimizing museum operations, which may support Kunsthaus Zürich's ambitions to maintain its position as a leading cultural institution in Switzerland.
