Remember, too, that curatorial expertise is more attractive combined
with  skills in fundraising, PR and computer knowledge. An internship at
an advertising agency or newspaper could be invaluable even if the area
isn't the one you plan to stay in. Someone who is adept as learning
languages should gain some basic knowledge of an object oriented
programming language such as C++ or Java. It's good insurance for the
future.

Perhaps some of the members of the list could give examples of
experience gained outside the museum that have proved useful inside.
