VATICAN CITY (AFP) -- Pope Francis on Tuesday named Italian Barbara Jutte as the next head of the Vatican Museums, making her the first woman to take charge of the Catholic Church‘s artistic treasures.
Jutte, 54, steps up from her current role as deputy director on Jan. 1, taking over from Antonio Paolucci, 77, an art historian and former Italian culture minister.
Jutte, a native of Rome, has worked at the Vatican since 1996.
She will be taking over one of the world’s greatest collections of artworks, contained in 7 kilometers of galleries and including the celebrated Sistine Chapel.
The museums draw in 4 million visitors each year despite a relatively hefty standard adult entry price of 16 euros ($16.60).
Most reviews are highly favorable despite some grumbling that the visitor experience is negatively affected by overcrowding.
