The National Museum of American Historyis most definitely a research
and exhibition type museum. Masny curators and other staff have very
respectable publishing, collecting and exhibition records and rank
among the best in their specialities. It is by no means an easy
career to follow, being splintered between three quite different
responsibilities: research, collection and exhibition, not to mention
public service but staff members do follow long term careers at the
museum-I spent 27 years on the staff before coming to the National
Museum of Dentistry in 1994 to help launch this new museum.
