After completing his studies under Gottfried Boehm, Willibald Sauerländer, and Paul Zanker at the Universities of Giessen and Munich, Wolfram Koeppe was invited to join the staff of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1992, having previously worked at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Actively engaged in lecturing and teaching, he contributes to The Met's media initiatives and is recognized for his innovative projects and substantial fundraising records. Exhibitions include 'Extravagant Inventions: The Princely Furniture by the Roentgens' (2012), which featured a video of the Berlin cabinet that gained over 15 million views on YouTube. The 'Art of the Royal Court: Treasures in Pietre Dure from the Palaces of Europe' (2008), was awarded 'Exhibition of the Year' by Apollo Magazine, and 'Making Marvels: Science and Splendor at the Courts of Europe' (2019–20) and its catalogue have emerged as essential research resources. Koeppe was honored with The Inaugural Marica Vilcek Prize in Art History, 2024. He is a Board member of the BGC and the AAMC.
