After reading the last readings which have been assigned, it has been enlightening to see how far museums have come in employment and in other aspects. It is interesting to see how jobs have evolved from being just a few types of jobs with permanent status which were seen to be mainly to be academic to deal with more outsourcing of these jobs so museums do not have to pay to have to pay permanent staff. It is also exciting to see all the different museums which have been popping up across the world within so many different countries. It is also interesting to see where the country is going to go due to multi-culturalism. America is a land of many cultures, but there does need to be a common culture that all people can relate to. There are countries like France that have official language which cannot use words from other cultures. It is interesting to see museums handling all of these different cultures. It is important to talk about copyright, since it protects the intellectual property of people. Museums need to be careful about what they bring in so they do not violate some body's intellectual property. It has been also interesting to learn about the role of the registrar and how they contribute to the museum and its structure. Also, it has been interesting and good to see that more museums are popping up in different cultures in order to show what they are all about. In all, museums will never go away since there are so many different types of museums and they will continue to come up with unique ideas that people will want to see. As well, it is interesting to see how the impact of one's culture to determine how they are seen among different cultures, like a Jew among the Native Americans and see the affect of it on the world around them.
The last speaker we listened to was Sarah Cucinella-McDaniel speak about her job working as a registrar at the Denver Art Museum. She first talked about her background and how she got into her current position. She talked about some of the jobs she has done within her position like going with art work to make sure that nothing would happen to the art. Also, learning about customs brokers who go through and make sure that the art will get past customs and get to the location that it is supposed to go to. It was interesting to learn about the amount of insurance which is necessary to keep art safe and move it around if necessary. Also, it was interesting to learn about what is going on in the job market in museums.
