A One-Stop Guide to Museum Careers 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. After
reading this book, readers will be able to: Understand how
non-profit museums are governed, funded, and staffed, and how they
define and meet their missions. Explore museum divisions and
departments and specific roles within them-not just prominent roles
like directors and curators, but also less visible ones like
registrars, preparators, development officers, conservators, and
more. Consider the contemporary function of museums, and how
yesterday's cabinets of curiosity have evolved into today's
community catalysts. Examine how the contemporary function of
museums has affected the types of positions available and the work
museum staff do on a daily basis. Look at the skills required for
different types of positions, and how readers aspiring to work in
those positions can best prepare themselves to land their dream
jobs and be successful in them. Understand the benefits and
potential challenges of working in a museum, and Access a wealth of
resources that will inspire further study of the field, and outline
next steps to pursue a museum career.
