Poland names new head of Jewish museum as tensions rise

WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland's government appointed a new director of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews on Thursday, as the ruling nationalists face accusations of politicising museums to reflect their view of history.

POLIN, which opened its main exhibition in 2014, is one of the largest Jewish museums in the world and has been the subject of a squabble between the government and the museum's former director, Dariusz Stola, over everything from the use of grant funding, to exhibitions and conferences at the museum.
