The director who resigned from the British Museum in Scandal has a new job.

Less than a year after stepping down as the director of the British Museum, Hartwig Fischer is back. The Saudi Museums Commission announced in a news release this week that it had appointed a German art historian as the founding director of its museum of world cultures. The commission chose Fischer because of his global expertise in leading international cultural institutions and museums, but did not mention his time at the British Museum. The State Art Collections of Dresden, a major group of German museums, have a major part to play in the London institution's success.
