I'm looking to train as a curator in science up to and including the early modern period (i.e. pre-18th century), but am having a lot of trouble finding museums in the area. It gets more complicated again when I'm wanting one with an attached PhD programme, and a scholarship to fund it. I know that some exist: Museum of Scientific Instruments, Harvard l'Istituto e museo di storia delle scienze, Florence Whipple Museum, Cambridge History of Science Museum, Oxford Boerhaave Museum, Leiden Deutsches Museum, Munich Steno Museum, Aarhus But funding to visit - even as an intern, resident trainee or short-contract staff member - is nearly non-existent. And as a New Zealander, my country doesn't maintain the diplomatic relations necessary for much exchange programme funding. If you have any leads - to either museums, universities or funding sources - I'd be most grateful to hear of them.> Please email Alistair direct at this address if you have any suggestions: [log in to unmask] ____________________________________________________________________________ Read Global Museum - 82 countries, FREE online subscription, the very latest in International News, Views, Vacancies,Virtual Mall, Travel Service, Resources and more! http://www.globalmuseum.org ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
