Since 2015, Wolohojian has served as a curator in the Department of European Paintings, becoming the Jayne Wrightsman Curator in 2019. He also currently guides The Met’s Curatorial Practice Program as the Coordinating Curator. Previously he spent almost a decade at the Harvard Art Museums, where he held roles as the Landon and Lavinia Clay Curator and then as Head of the Division of European and American Art. Wolohojian is a specialist in Italian Renaissance and Baroque painting, as well as 19th-century French painting, having curated important exhibitions in both areas, notably the award-winning A Private Passion, 19th-Century Paintings and Drawings from the Grenville L. Winthrop Collection, which was on view at The Met in 2003. He also played a leadership role in the complete renovation of the Harvard Art Museums, which reopened in 2014.

Stephan Wolohojian received his PhD from Harvard University and was a professor at the University of Delaware before returning to the Harvard Art Museums, where he headed the European and American Art divisions and played a key role in the recent renovation of the museum. He has continued his teaching while at The Met and has been involved in the interim installations of the European Paintings collection throughout the current skylights renovation project.
