The director of a Pennsylvania museum was forced out of his job on Monday in the wake of allegations about a pattern of misconduct at his former job as a manager at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

The director, Joshua Helmer, “is no longer employed at the Erie Art Museum,” the Erie museum’s board said in a statement. It did not elaborate on whether Mr. Helmer was fired or asked to resign.

The action against the museum director, who had been appointed to the Erie post in 2018, followed a New York Times article on Friday that reported that multiple women had accused Mr. Helmer of making advances toward them in the workplace while he was at the Philadelphia museum and that an intern had made a similar complaint in Erie.
