Director of the Museum and Exhibitions at the Arab World Institute since 2021, Nathalie Bondil is leading the transformation of this institution into a venue open to modern and contemporary Arab arts. A French-Canadian museologist and art historian, she has a humanist vision in which the museum becomes a living space, permeated by cultural exchanges and different perspectives on the world.

Prior to joining the IMA, she spent thirteen years as director of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, where she initiated major projects and designed exhibitions combining visual arts, cinema and music. She developed a pioneering approach linking art, health and well-being, notably with the first museum-based medical prescriptions and the creation of the Pavilion pour la Paix.

A teacher and researcher, and a leading figure in museum therapy, she lectures at the École du Louvre and the University of Montreal. Involved in several international cultural bodies, she advocates for a citizen-focused and universal museum. Nathalie Bondil will be among the guests of honour at the 2025 Women of Influence Gala.
