On Season 1 of our podcast “A Closer Look,” we’re exploring museum jobs: why we wanted them, how we got them, and what they’re really like! Through a series of conversations with colleagues, hosts Tara Metal and Michael Ricca will seek to demystify the museum world, discuss some surprising career paths, and explore jobs you may never have considered.
In this episode of A Closer Look, we talk to curatorial assistant Heather Linton about growing up in Alabama, how a love of photography led her to museum work, and the three different jobs she’s held at the museums.
