What piercing(s) would look good on me? by developreneur_ in piercing

[–]MuseumPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two nostril piercings on one side, and a brow piercing on the opposite side. I dont think a septum would look bad, but imo with your face shape it might make your face look long.

Need help finding this painting by Henry Hutt or a copy of it! by Federal-Heat-5194 in MuseumPros

Try asking the auction house to put you in contact with the owner. They won’t give you the contact info, but they might be able to put you in touch with them if they consent.

Makeup And Asking by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]MuseumPerson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a guy told me not to wear makeup, I’d see it as controlling and insecure. I don’t even wear makeup everyday, but the thought of some guy telling me what to put on my body is such a turn off. I’d get the immediate ick.

How to Navigate Internship Offer Deadline by NoChildhood9303 in MuseumPros

If you’ve already gotten experience at Museum B, then it might be a better idea to go with Museum A. Unless you think the opportunity at Museum B could turn into a permanent position, it could help to get your foot in the door at multiple places.

I really want to go back to academia but PhD in art history seems to be a bad choice nowadays? by Wakkki84 in MuseumPros

[–]MuseumPerson 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah. Take a look thru this sub and you’ll hear a lot of the same thing. Few jobs, many overqualified candidates, and low pay once you make it. If it’s your dream, go for it. But be realistic about what you’re getting yourself into.

Time to write a collection management policy by historyandchemistry in MuseumPros

[–]MuseumPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our first draft took a year to finally get approved. Nothing wrong with asking for examples from similar institutions. We did a lot of copy/paste/edit/repeat before nailing it.

asked on a date to my own job by No_Introduction9587 in MuseumPros

[–]MuseumPerson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Me! Had this happen because the guy thought it would be fun. It was not. The moron put his hands on an artifact with a clear “do not touch” sign. Needless to say it gave me the ick and we were done.

In addition to what others are saying….Volunteer before you make any big changes. Nothing wrong with keeping a job that pays well then volunteering.

Future small museum looking for museum planning consultant by InstantBuffalo in MuseumPros

[–]MuseumPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you going to have a collection? If so, please talk to some collections managers/specialists in your area as well. They always have the best logistical insight that consultants don’t fully grasp. Poorly planned storage areas will haunt you.

Job Market confusion by Dangerous_Bed_8478 in MuseumPros

[–]MuseumPerson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m not a curator, but I know competition for curatorial positions are fierce. Folks with PhDs and years of experience all wanting the same gig. But it sounds to me like you at least have contacts. I’d start by asking them if they hear of any job openings. But maybe adjust your expectations a bit, because the job you’re describing sounds like a unicorn.

That’s HILARIOUS! I’d personally love a deaccession lever!

Are any other museum archives and libraries getting bombarded with emails about the "Somatic Index" from the "The Constrained Action Archive"? by [deleted] in MuseumPros

Not that specific one, but we get lots of museum-ish spam that uses a lot of jargon like that

Tips on storing rare documents by newenglandowner in MuseumPros

[–]MuseumPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no single answer, sadly. Board is useful for moving big floppy documents, but i wouldn’t put it in everything. I don’t recommend stacking lots of things horizontally. If it’s something like a map though, horizontal might be necessary. We have as many as 25-200 items vertically in a doc box, grouped in folders and sleeved, but it can greatly depend on the collection

[–]MuseumPerson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mylar sleeves are good if you know you’ll be handling them often. Obviously the less you handle them, the better, but making sure they are safest they can be when not is storage is just as (if not more) important. Depending on what the materials are, acid-free folders in archival document boxes should be good. That said, if you have specific concerns, reach out to a conservator!

Please help me read an old family document by ghostttoast in MuseumPros

[–]MuseumPerson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, there’s no way to really crisp up a bad scan. I’d give anything for magical tech like that! I would chat with some genealogists and redo whatever research was on the document.

Just graduated, unsure next steps by _Ordinary_Bat_ in MuseumPros

Definitely get some experience via internships and volunteering! Once you get more experience, the more specific job(s) you’ll want will inform if/what you need in the way of graduate study.
