A Day at the Museum
Are you curious about what occurs behind the scenes in our U-M museum or about the people and skills it takes to make a museum work? Have you wondered what it would be like to have a job in a museum or about the kinds of training you need to pursue a museum career?
This winter, please join us for a series of lectures and discussions featuring U-M's museum professionals. Presenters will include some of U-M's museum directors, curators, conservators, collection managers, registrars, exhibit designers and others, who will discuss and answer questions about how they became involved in museum work and describe their typical day at the museum.
All lectures will be held at the Kelsey Museum, Room 124, from 2:30-3:30 PM
(PLEASE NOTE NEW STARTING TIME)
Free and Open to the Public.
