You put all this effort in, and now all there is left to do is wait. Tell us what you've tried to make people show up? What works? What doesn't work?

When you're a conservation student, you're taught that every object requires intense background research before any actions are taken. You can spend several weeks finding out interesting details about an object that will inform your intervention. When you start a museum job in what we call "bench conservation" (meaning you sit down - presumably on a bench - and work on the objects), you might get given 20 things and told they need to be done by yesterday, so extra care will need to be taken and maybe extra off-work hours too! So, if you're a student, enjoy your research time! Chances are you'll never have as much of it again after you graduate. ___ Follow for more conservation and museum-related memes.
True story. I heard this at a webinar on collections management when you have weapons in your collection. Watch your unexpected visitor donor pull a pin out of an old grenade just to "prove" to you it doesn't work. Who can say museum work is boring?

We'd better be able to laugh at ourselves some days!
You've seen the curator's name at the end/start of the exhibit. But have you seen the conservator's name? What about the mountmaker's?

And when the visitors finally come, you need to figure out how to make them stop.

Browsing for museum jobs is hard. This stuff is all I get. If you are also looking for museum jobs, make sure you sign up for the job boards of your local professional organisations! They will be much more useful than Linkedin in our field. Since I'm in Ontario, I recommend CAC-ACCR @cac_accr , OMA (Ontario Museum Association) @museumsontario , and CMA (Canadian Museums Association) @musecdn . If you're in the west coast, check out the BCMA (British Columbia Museum Association) @bc_museums_association. Don't forget to look for help and network with the various emerging professional networks and other related organisations such as @workinculture.ca. . . . ___ Follow for more GLAM memes and related bite-sized resources!
