Meet the Interns!
Today we have Cynthia, who is interning here from England.
Q: How long have you been interning here at the Bata Shoe Museum?
A: I'm here from September to January, but I am going home to England for a few weeks in December.
Q: Why did you decide to participate in an internship here?
A: I finished my MA in Art Museum & Galley Education and I wanted to get experience.
Q: What are some of the activities you do here at BSM?
A: I do tour, JK - Grade 12, adults and ESL. I also work at the front desk and shop. As well I'm working on a personal project making more discovery boxes for the museum.
Q: What is one of your favorite things about being an intern?
A: I like having the inside look into the museum, getting to see things and getting to go behind the scenes.
Q: Lastly what is your favorite shoe in the permanent collection?
A: Oh I have to think for a minute. I think the Asante shoe. That shoe and the artifacts looked familiar so I looked it up and discovered that my family comes from that part of Africa, and our family can be considered Asante which I thought was really interesting.
