- Summary:
- People who love art, are fascinated by archaeology, or are history buffs may have considered the idea of working in a museum. But experience as a museum visitor reveals only the public-facing side of the museum, and not its complex, dynamic internal structure. So You Want to Work in a Museum? helps to demystify museums as institutions and to prepare prospective museum staff to explore the field further.
