Howarth announced this week that he will not seek re-appointment when his current term expires early next year.

‘The Museum is entering a new phase of development and it is appropriate that the Museum have a Director who can see that process fulfilling time at the Australian Museum working with a team of skilled, dedicated and enthusiastic staff. After 10 years I am sad, but excited to start on a new challenge. In the meantime, I am looking forward to some extended holiday travel in mid-2014 before considering the next executive appointment,’ Howarth said in a statement.
