Madeline was featured on the Block Museum’s website for her role as a research assistant there! Here’s what Madeline had to say about her experience: “I’ve always loved visiting all types of museums, so my first year at university I took a few art history classes which I really enjoyed. While my major is now anthropology, I applied to the Curatorial Internship at the Block Museum the summer after my sophomore year. That internship introduced me to the museum world and showed me what goes on behind the scenes, especially on the curatorial side. When that internship ended, I was invited to apply for a Research Grant to continue working on various projects at the Block. I am so grateful for these opportunities, as each project is different and thus I constantly learn more skills, like writing reports on works in the collection, aiding on research for future exhibitions, and working in the online database, that will help me become qualified for a museum career one day!”
