In August, a professional oversight investigation was launched at the National Museum and Institute of Theater History. According to Zoltán Tarr, the investigation was initiated by the Ministry of Social Relations and Culture.
The investigation uncovered several operational problems. Zoltán Tarr mentioned shortcomings in management and in the protection of the collection, and a decline in the number of qualified staff.
## A six-month interim appointment
The new board of trustees of the Foundation for Theater and Film Arts, which operates the institution, has replaced the former director. Theater historian Beáta Huber has taken over the leadership role; her appointment is for a period of six months.
According to Zoltán Tarr, the interim director’s responsibility is to ensure the institution’s stable operation. Beáta Huber will lead the institution until the recruitment process for a new director is completed.
