Kunsthaus Zürich Names 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, infrastructure, and technology, and will join the executive board, working closely with the director and the board of the Zürcher Kunstgesellschaft. Born in 1981 in Stansstad, Nidwalden, he brings extensive experience in financial and corporate management, having served since 2018 as Commercial Director and Deputy Director at Fotomuseum Winterthur, and previously as Commercial Director and Co-Director of the International Short Film Festival Winterthur.
The Signal
Longhi's appointment signals a strategic focus on operational stability and institutional growth for Switzerland's largest art museum. His background in both museum administration and cultural event management suggests a pragmatic approach to consolidating the Kunsthaus's position as a leading cultural institution. For collectors and professionals, this move underscores the importance of robust operational leadership in sustaining major museums, particularly as they navigate evolving financial and technological challenges. The choice of an internal cultural-sector veteran rather than an outside corporate hire reflects a broader trend among institutions to prioritize cultural expertise in senior management roles.
