e262. Hey! So, How Do Museums Work?

We have probably mentioned on previous episodes that Monica worked at a museum. We’ve also mentioned once or twice that Wayne was on the board of a museum. And really, one would assume that anyone who listens to this show has probably been to a museum or two at some point in their lives. Probably many more in fact. BUT… one thing that we probably never consider is… How do Museums Work? We all know what museums do… they hold artwork that we all get to look at…. but how does the artwork get there? How do you curate an exhibit? What other considerations go into it? On this week’s show, Monica, Wayne and Mav welcome other museum staff Meghan Hansen and Marcel Walker to talk about how museum procurement, curation, and exhibition works. There’s a lot more that goes into it than probably anyone ever thinks. Listen and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Om Podcasten

Vox Populorum is a blog and podcast devoted to pop culture criticism. We believe that the best way to understand culture is to discuss it. But we also believe that it's a lot more fun to have these conversations throwing back a couple beers at the bar rather than in a classroom. Please join our weekly round table of media critics, academics, creators, artists, professors, students and fans for an engaging discussion about movies, novels, comic books, television, video games, music or whatever else we happen to think of! Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.
