I am wondering about people's opinions of interns who come to museums for
summer experience or more lengthy experience.  Do you feel that the work
done by interns is more often the "dirty work" or do your museums truly
offer staff level experience?  If the "dirty work" IS in fact being saved
for interns, then how can we expect to increase interest in museum work?
Shouldn't their experiences be similar to what they might encounter as a
museum professional?
Former or current interns AND musuem professionals please reply.
