I care for and interpret a small art collection in a boarding school for students in grades 9-12.
On a really great day I might take a rare book, painting or photograph to a class, weave it into the curriculum, and see what students make of it. I might give students a tour of an exhibition or work with them to integrate their own work into an exhibit that's ongoing.
Here's the first step for high school students
Immerse yourself in history, science or art.
"When will you stop working in a museum and get a real job?"
