I presently work at a small museum in Seattle that specializes in 19th and 20th century European(German and Russian mostly) and American art. We have a new Director, are about to undergo a major architectural remodeling and a nearly complete revamping of our programs. It looks like I will have an opportunity to build a museum education program from scratch (including the design of architectural facilities for it!!!). Its a great opportunity and I want to make the most of it. I'm not professionally trained as a museum educator (the last of the true generalists) and would be open to ideas and advice of all types. Our museum has never had a volunteer program (which it desperately needs) and hasn't had an education program, outside of my little gallery talks and slide programs for years (make that decades). Would love to shoot for the stars and wait till the money people cry uncle (they will). Let me thank you all in advance would REALLY appreciate your ideas, advice, dreams and caveats.
