Armando Lowe has been named the new Chief Executive Officer of the Fiji Museum, signaling a pivotal leadership transition for the institution. This change comes after a thorough organizational review and restructure conducted by Grant Thornton earlier in 2024.
Mr. Lowe brings a wealth of experience from his previous role as the Manager of City Arts at Wellington City Council in New Zealand. The board, under the leadership of Kate Vusoniwailala, Chair of the Fiji Museum Board of Trustees, has expressed strong confidence in Mr. Lowe’s qualifications and the fresh insights he is expected to contribute.
Upon assuming his role this Tuesday, Mr. Lowe remarked that he is “deeply honoured” to lead the museum at this critical time. His leadership is anticipated to propel the development of the national museum while advancing the objectives outlined in its Strategic Plan.
As cultural institutions like the Fiji Museum play vital roles in fostering national identity and facilitating community engagement, Lowe’s tenure is expected to enhance the museum’s offerings and solidify its status as a central cultural hub in Fiji.
Lowe’s appointment represents a promising new era for the Fiji Museum, with a focus on enriching cultural appreciation and boosting community involvement through innovative programs and exhibits. Stakeholders eagerly await the transformative initiatives and strategic advancements that may arise under his leadership, fostering deeper connections within the community and enhancing the museum’s cultural significance.
