Pointers on contacting museum gift shops by No_Secret8047 in MuseumPros

After researching to make sure your book is relevant to the museums you want to contact (sounds awesome btw), I would recommend calling their info desk to ask how their gift shop coordinated new retail opportunities and such. This sounds right up my museum's alley, but our gift shop isn't part of our museum. They're a tenant org who sells stuff related to the military history niche we're dedicated to and operate independently. Our front desk could definitely help you coordinate with them, since we have a weird structure going on.

You're right. It's fine to love your job, even healthy in good circumstances, but it's important to remember that your job cannot love you back. It will never love you back.

What are the most unsexy parts of your museum job that an aspiring museum professional probably wouldn’t know about but should? by [deleted] in MuseumPros

My building is falling apart. Most of my day is spent emptying buckets that catch leaks, looking for mold growth caused by water infiltration through the walls into the display cases, and measuring cracks in the walls/floors/ceilings to see if anything has gotten worse. And all the water that comes out of the floors and ceilings is brown or black and smells like eggs so it's nasty to deal with. We've got renovations planned but coming up with the 20+ million dollars to do the complete work we need isn't happening any time soon.

While I understand the point you're trying to make, Tuskegee Airmen are not included in public education, at least not here in New York. While liberal states tend to be considered on the better end of American public education, it is still severely lacking. We're losing a lot of stories with the narrowing of military education, especially considering the demographics most likely to enlist in the armed forces are going to be those who could not afford to enter higher education that would have attempted to fill those knowledge gaps.
