>>>>QUESTION FOUR What professional organizations should I join?<<<< That depends a lot on what kind of museum work you do. First, are you in an art, history, or natural history museum, science center, historic house, whatever? Second, are you a curator, administrator, sub-curatorial worker, support (clerical, financial, etc.) staff person, front-line person, or what? I can't think of any organization that would be of use to all kinds of staff in all kinds of museums.
