DESCRIPTION:Dr Martin Roth is currently one of the most influe
 ntial museum directors in the world. He has been D
 irector of the Victoria and Albert Museum since Se
 ptember 2011. As a German\, he is the first non-Br
 itish director of the V&A and\, for that matter\, 
 of any national British museum.\n\nDr Roth has had
  a distinguished career of involvement in museums\
 , galleries\, and arts research that has included 
 a ten-year position as Director General of the Dre
 sden State Art Collections (Staatliche Kunstsammlu
 ngen Dresden)\, among the oldest and most importan
 t collections in the world. Prior to that\, he was
  President of the German Museums Association (1995
 -2003)\, Curator at the Deutsche Historische Museu
 m (1989-2001)\, and Director of the German Hygiene
  Museum in Dresden (1991-2000)\, the first German 
 science museum. A trustee of the British Council a
 nd the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris\, Dr Rot
 h is also a member of the Council of the Royal Col
 lege of Art and the Court of Imperial College in L
 ondon. In 2007\, he was awarded the French ‘Cheval
 ier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres’ which re
 cognises significant contributions to the arts.\n\
 nThe V&A describes itself as the ‘world’s greatest
  museum of art and design’\, with a collection spa
 nning 3\,000 years. It encompasses architecture\, 
 ceramics\, glass\, fashion\, jewellery\, metalwork
 \, painting\, photography and more. The V&A owes i
 ts current worldwide success to the visionary conc
 ept that Dr Roth has created and implemented durin
 g his time at the museum: a model that consists in
  a strong focus on research\, a striving for popul
 arity and commercialisation\, and the construction
  of an international network.\n\nThe Cambridge Uni
 versity German Society proudly presents Dr Martin 
 Roth as our first speaker of Easter Term. The topi
 c of his talk will be: ‘Total Accessibility: Chall
 enges and Opportunities for the 21st-Century Museu
 m’. There will also be time for questions.\n\nPlea
 se note that the event will be held in English.\n\
 nEveryone welcome! We look forward to seeing you t
