I am currently conducting research for my MA in Museum Education and would like to ask the Museum-L art museum education community: 1. What type of educational training do you feel best prepares museum professionals for work in museum education at an art museum? a. academic art history b. studio art c. education -- what kind? how common are museum education degrees? d. other -- i'd be interested in hearing of unusual backgrounds 2. In your experience, what effect have different educational backgrounds had upon programming or teaching methods? Please contribute to this conversation -- either on or off-list. I will treat each response as an "email interview" if cited in my paper. Thank you so much for your time.
