Creative Careers in Museums will inspire anyone who has ever contemplated working for a museum but doesn’t know where to begin. From the traditional museum position to the alternative jobs that support the museum world, learn from the skills, education, and interests of dozens of individuals who hold a diverse array of jobs. The careers profiled include:

· Curator · Photographer · Furniture conservator · Art mover · Grant writer · Exhibit designer · Board member · Registrar · Consultant · Event coordinator · Publications director · Oral historian · Retail manager · Lab technician · Docent coordinator · Operations manager · Writer · Actor · Architect · Cultural protocols coordinator

Creative Careers in Museums also details how to land that life-changing museum job: where to look, how to put together a successful résumé and cover letter, and what to expect at interviews. A wealth of practical information on professional associations, museum studies programs, and job search resources can help any creative-minded person start their career in the ever-evolving museum field.
