De Montebello, who has been at the helm of the museum for almost a third of its entire history, is planning to step down by December 31, 2008, according to the museum. "To say that his decision marks the end of an era surely constitutes one of the great understatements, not only in the museum's life, but in the cultural life of the city, the state, the nation, and the world," said James R. Houghton, chairman of the Met's Board of Trustees. Born in Paris in 1936, de Montebello began his career at the Met in 1963 in the Department of European Paintings, rising quickly through the curatorial ranks. He spent his entire career at the museum, save for four and a half years, 1969 to 1974, when he left to direct the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston. During his tenure at the Met, de Montebello focused on fund-raising, educating the public, building the collections, expanding the museum's programs, and enlarging and refining the museum's buildings. 在纽约大都会博物馆任职馆长30年的菲利浦‧蒙特贝罗（Philippe de Montebello）， 宣布他即将退休。「说他的决定象徵着一个时代的结束，实在是太不足以形容它，不仅 仅是在博物馆的生涯，也在城市的文化生活里、在州里、在国家里、甚至全世界」， 大都会董事长James R. Houghton说。1936年於巴黎出生，蒙特贝罗在1963年在大都会 开始他的职业生涯，任职於欧洲绘画部门，在研究人员里面快速地升迁。他一生的工作 都在大都会，除了1969年至1974年中有四年半的时间至休士顿担任现代美术馆馆馆长。 在大都会馆长任内，蒙特贝罗专注於募款、教育大众、扩增收藏、开拓博物馆活动以及 增建和整修博物馆的建筑等。 http://www.metmuseum.org/press_room/full_release.asp?prid ={B88665AC-60DB-4C8D-91A7-8643C3AE6180}&PromoSpace=hp --
