Background

Elizabeth Esteve-Coll was educated at Birkbeck, University of London. She was the first woman director of a national arts collection when she was appointed as director of the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1987. However, she resigned the post, considered one of the most prestigious in the art world, in December 1994 after criticism for changes she had made to broaden the museum's appeal. Dr. Alan Borg succeeded her as its new director, taking the post on 1 October 1995.

She was Vice-Chancellor of the University of East Anglia between 1995 and 1997.
