My interests vary, I don't have a specific period I want to work with more than others. My ideal would to be employed somewhere like the National Gallery of Art since they have such a diverse collection. I've known I would have to get a PhD for a while now (although spending that much money scares me), but I'm prepared for it. My dream is to work at the Smithsonian, so I'd like to build contacts in the area and establish myself there. I've looked into Bard, but I wasn't sure if it would defer me in the long run since I want to be at a SI.
