The Art Institute of Chicago, renowned for its eclectic collection that features the masters of French Impressionism, on Thursday named James Cuno its new director.

Cuno, 52, the current director of Britain’s Courtauld Institute of Art and former head of the Harvard University museums in Boston, will assume his new post in September.

He replaces James Wood, who announced last year that he would leave the Art Institute after 24 years. Cuno was born in St. Louis.
