In this episode of A Closer Look, we talk to assistant archivist Michelle Interrante about her path to our archives department, what an archivist really does, and why working in retail was the perfect preparation for her museum career.

On Season 1 of 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.
