Ralph Keuning (born 20 December 1961 in Harderwijk) is a Dutch art historian and museum director. He studied art history at Utrecht University, with a thesis on the German Dadaist John Heartfield. From 1990 to 1992 he was an assistant at the Neue Nationalgalerie and the print room in Berlin, and he later worked at the Kröller-Müller Museum. In 2004 he became the first director of the Nieuw Land Erfgoedcentrum in Lelystad. From 2007 until his departure in June 2022 he was director of Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle and Wijhe. During that time the museum was extended to a design by Hubert-Jan Henket, which opened in 2013, and the collection grew with works by Jan Fabre, Marc Chagall, Karel Appel and others. In 2010 he presented the rediscovered Van Gogh painting 'De molen Le Blute fin'. He has published on John Heartfield, George Grosz, Marte Röling and Jan Cremer. From 2024 he was artistic director of Museum No Hero in Delden, which closed in 2025.[1,2]
