In this episode of A Closer Look, we talk to Karen Gausch, who works in our department of Collections Management as the Manager of Exhibition Production and Collections Care.

Karen charts her fascinating career from installing art around New York City, to mount-making at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, to managing a massive building move and making exhibitions come to life at the Harvard Art Museums.

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.
