As always, summer came and went! My time at the Everhart Museum won’t soon be forgotten; I have made friends and colleagues, and I continue to work there as a gallery guard. The experience I gained working with the museum’s curator Francesca is invaluable to my future career in the arts- I handled and researched objects that most only get to see behind thick glass or hanging on a wall. I was included in decisions that will have a lasting effect on the curatorial department, and to me that means so much; knowing I played a role in the museum’s future. The Royal Experience is most definitely one that I will never forget, and I know how fortunate I am to have been selected to take part in it.
