Marcus Schutenko admits that his career was Melbourne-centric before he headed to the Top End in 2015.
As CEO of the Museum of Chinese Australian History for three years – and prior to that working with Arts Centre Melbourne and the Victorian Multicultural Commission, coordinating festivals, as well as The Store Room Theatre – heading to Darwin to take the helm at the then-troubled Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT), was nothing short of challenging.
