Delphine Munro

Delphine Munro is a senior cultural strategist and curator whose career has been defined by a commitment to cultural placemaking and cultural diplomacy.

A graduate in both economics and finance (Sciences Po, Paris) and history of art (Courtauld Institute, London), she has shaped how major European financial and multilateral institutions engage with contemporary art, pioneering responsible collecting, climate-focused artist residencies, and programmes that foreground diversity, inclusion, and long-term stewardship.

Most notably, she designed and ran the Artists Development Programme (ADP), one of the longest-running and most successful artists' residencies in Europe. Delphine effectively designed the cultural blueprint of major institutions in Europe, as if she were Europe's very own "art diplomat".

Her experience includes the European Investment Bank, BNP Paribas, HSBC, Centre Pompidou, Sotheby's and Fondation Cartier; Chairwoman of IACCCA (International Association of Corporate Collectors of Contemporary Art); museum and foundations governance through board positions.

Delphine was decorated for her services to arts and culture in France (Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres) and Luxembourg (Chevalier de la Couronne de Chêne).

Based between Luxembourg and Paris, Delphine now leads Serendipity Art Consultancy, working globally with institutions, foundations, policy makers, collectors and artists to turn serendipitous encounters with art into coherent, values-driven cultural projects.
