The Philadelphia Museum of Art scandal involves the abrupt firing of director and CEO Sasha Suda in November 2025, when she was three years into a five-year contract. Suda sued the museum for alleged “breaches of contract, bad faith, unfair treatment, and abuse,” claiming board members labeled her “a socialist” and “union sympathizer” and undermined her modernization efforts. The museum countersued, claiming she had misappropriated funds. The controversy coincided with an unpopular rebranding campaign.
