Discovery Center/Museum Workshop and Public Meeting
If you are potentially interested in a museum career, I strongly encourage you to participate in the following activity (see below). As you may or may not know, Manhattan is exploring the idea of developing a Discovery Center/Museum. Â The City has hired professional museum consultants to evaluate the feasibility of such a center and develop ideas should it be built. They have been meeting with City staff and the public and will continue to do so for another month or so. I have found the process to be very enlightening. This is a unique opportunity to learn about what goes on in the development and functioning of a museum. There is yet another opportunity on October 15 to see how exhibit ideas are developed (as a participant in this process or an observer). If this sounds somewhat intriguing to you, read on and volunteer for this workshop. (If you can’t participate in the workshop, certainly plan on attending the open public meeting!) (more…)
