The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has appointed the art historian and curator Florence Ostende as director of artistic programs and content.

Ostende will join the institution from Mudam Luxembourg, where she has been head of artistic department for two years.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao recently scrapped plans for a second site to be located on a local nature reserve, following criticism from conservation charities.
