My dream was always to be in museums. It's a big and important milestone and a fulfillment of one of my primary ambitions.
Also, while I was at Yale, I had a job teaching kids at the museum.
Since then I have held many jobs at museums in Colorado and Wyoming. I have also taught summer courses at the University of Colorado.

Shouldn't a great museum foster serious seeing before all else?
I'm hoping that I make readers into museum goers and museum goers into readers.
I go to museums all the time.
I once walked through an exhibit in a large American museum that displayed First Nations artifacts in old dioramas, with mannequins that hadn't been changed since the 19th century.
I love museums but I don't want to live in one.

Switzerland felt incredibly narrow, growing up. It was good, in a way. There were so many museums. But it was always a no-brainer that I would have to leave, and I'm grateful for that.
I don't think China has professional museums - not in the past, present, or near future.
