Former BBC DG Lord Hall of Birkenhead has resigned as Chairman of The National Gallery. He was appointed a Trustee in November 2019, when he was still at the BBC, and elevated to Chairman in Janaury 2020, taking up that role when he left Auntie in August 2020.
He is still a member of the Advisory Council of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, a Trustee of the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra, and a Trustee of the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
In resigning from The National Gallery, he also stands down as a Trustee. "I have always had a strong sense of public service, and it is clear my continuing in the role would be a distraction to an institution I care deeply about. As I said two days ago, I am very sorry for the events of 25 years ago and I believe leadership means taking responsibility”.
