***Course Announcement from Northern States Conservation Center***

MS 009: Guest Curators: The Exhibition Team plus Another
Instructor: Lin Nelson-Mayson
Dates: April 11, 2007, 11 a.m. EST
Price: $75
Location: www.museumclasses.org

Considering supplementing staff for your next exhibition with an 
independent curator or outside expert? Many museums work with guest 
curators who are knowledgeable about a particular topic or who will 
enhance limited staff. What is the relationship of this "outsider" to 
the staff? How do you agree upon expectations and duties that are 
best for both parties? This short course will cover the basics of 
working with guest curators  who they are, establishing clear 
expectations, and developing a successful collaboration.

Logistics:
Participants in Guest Curators will read literature before joining in 
a one-hour chat to discuss how an outside curator works within your 
museum. Participants in Guest Curators will be sent information the 
week before the chat. Each student should read course materials and 
prepare questions or comments to share with the other students in the chat.

This is a mini-course and takes no more than 10 hours of a student's 
time.  It will be held once in 2007.

Please sign up at www.museumclasses.org and pay at

either, please contact Helen Alten at helen at collectioncare.org.
