Director Fenix Museum
SPACE
On Building the Fenix Museum: Leadership, Loss, and the Making of a New Cultural Landmark

Anne Kremers is the director of FENIX, the new migration museum in Rotterdam. Her career moved from becoming the Netherlands’ youngest museum director at 24, to several years in Hong Kong, and eventually back to Rotterdam. Today, she leads a museum that merges contemporary art, architecture, public space, and personal histories into one evolving institution. Anne speaks about leadership under pressure, the emotional stretch of parenthood and grief, the impatience that drives her, and what it means to carry the responsibility of a story that belongs to many. She reflects on confidence, doubt, resilience, and how a museum only becomes real the moment its doors open, and people step inside.
