No museology or art history degree required! Maybe, Actually, Museums are for me, is a podcast focused on inviting listeners who may have never been exposed to or had an interest in the arts to learn more about the culture of museums from somebody who, even while working in the industry, still sometimes wonders, "why is that not on display? or "should I know who painted that?"
Join Alex Pavljuk, Digital Content Strategist of the Montclair Art Museum (MAM), as he talks with museum professionals, other museum-goers, and exhibiting artists about how to approach and feel comfortable exploring museums.
