Working in museum

I hear it all the time from high school and college students: to succeed, you must major in science, technology, engineering, or business. Any other degree is waste of time. And an art history degree?! Completely useless. Let me set the record straight: that thinking is false and becoming more false every day.

How can we engage in play that’s appropriate for the museum environment? And how can we get adults involved in play too?

Someone who has a good eye for interior design, and more specifically a knack for selecting the best artwork to occupy a space, should consider a career as an art consultant. Consultants are hired by corporations, hotels, health care facilities, smaller businesses and private art collectors.

Museum educators are crucial to museums’ long-term public engagement, but these freelancers lack the job security of a full-time, salaried position.
