Philadelphia Museum of Art Names New Director

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has named Timothy Rub director and CEO. Rub, who has held the same titles for the past three years at the Cleveland Museum of Art, starts in September.

Our story is here.

The Inquirer, along with the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the New York Times, agreed to an embargo of the story until Monday at 12:30 a.m. But the Times put its story up online hours before the agreed-upon time because, well...actually, we don't know why.

And so The Inquirer story went up, and then the Plain Dealer's.
