MARCH 10, 2020

That advice has served me incredibly well over the last seven years, and it frames how I try to approach problems at my museum. Fred Gold "My mentor gave me a simple, but profound piece of advice as I started my career: recognize the people who work with you and acknowledge them for who they are and what they're doing for the museum.

I''m getting ready for the American Alliance of Museums conference later this month. In addition to reconnecting with old friends and mentors, I want to meet people who aren''t on my radar who will help me learn and grow. In this way, I''ve found my idols / mentors /friends--and learned a lot from their inspiring sessions.

The Museum 2.0 I went alone, sent with a blessing from my boss at the International Spy Museum. Become their friends and invite them to be your mentors. As Museum 2.0 I started to see generous mentors everywhere. Then about six months ago, I stumbled into a professional training environment. Learn from them.

I had dinner last week with some excellent folks from the board of NAME , the National Association for Museum Exhibition, a standing professional committee under AAM (American Association of Museums). but I left wondering more about the bigger picture of professional associations and their use and value. Mentor partners?

I had a bit of a wakeup call about internships last month at an "emerging leaders" lunch event at the Mid-Atlantic Association of Museums conference. The topic of the lunch was internships, and the tables paired students with established professionals to talk about opportunities, issues, and possibilities. We might never get there.

This has been said many times in many ways by fundraising professionals but it’s important to remember now. Perhaps they can help in finding jobs for graduating seniors if you’re working at a university, or maybe they can host a virtual tour of your museum for their contacts. We have the answer, not just a problem.

Whatever your degree (or your opinion about museum graduate programs ), the thing that continues to be highly valued (and sought after by employers) is experience. Which is why I speak today on behalf of the apprenticeship—hands-on professional education—which has, sadly, fallen by the wayside. How the heck can I make this happen?”

One of my mentors, Michael Brown, told me, “The only way to get better is to change.” My interest in gaming in museums was ignited by working on Operation Spy, an immersive, narrative, live-action game experience at the International Spy Museum, and fueled by the CSI:NY virtual experience.

If you think of artists like Gaugin, or artists who paint naked indigenous women-- as women it's easier for us to get into a museum if we're naked in a painting. I went to Cal with the intention of doing that, because that had been something that was so ingrained, of being a "professional," if you will. And I was like, "Wow."
