When explaining that there were too many sessions to choose from and wanting to attend them all, the best description I've heard of #Museums2024 so far has been 'It's like a music festival but for museum nerds'. Apt, really!

Commissions are open at my instagram, have 2 spots available so if you’re interested in a hand embroidered piece, let me know, meanwhile I’ll be making the tube man dance in my living room ‘till I get some work

@svohen This is one of my very favourite scenes, excellent work!

[Charlotte Hughes @CLH1192]

@museumhour Really enjoyed you being back! Looking forward to the next one! 🎉

@museumhour A6: A more practical piece of advice would be to look at networking and see what free training and workshops are out there if you can. MD is a fantastic resource!

[Charlotte Hughes @CLH1192]

@museumhour Absolutely true! Every role is skilled in a museum, and it's rare for their not to be some overlap with other departments in whatever you're doing!

[Charlotte Hughes @CLH1192]

@museumhour A5: Head of Heritage is exceptionally vague. Job titles need to make sense and give a sense of what's happening in that role where possible. Making things sound important isn't the best route!

[Charlotte Hughes @CLH1192]

@museumhour A4: Not really knowing all of the different ways you can work in a museum - it's not all curators and FOH!
Development opportunities vary wildly in my experience - if you're in a team of 3 staff, then the only way to progress can be to move on, and that's so sad when you love it!

[Charlotte Hughes @CLH1192]

@museumhour Work! Not woke!

[Charlotte Hughes @CLH1192]

@museumhour I've personally found the level of theory in an MA isn't overly transferable to the every day running and ground woke of a museum. In addition, often asked for in roles and fully not needed! A lot of work to be done around this, imo!

[Charlotte Hughes @CLH1192]

@museumhour A2: As difficult as many others will know in such a competitive sector! I tried to move into the career with volunteering experience and no postgraduate degree, but never got anywhere. Worked a lot of hospitality jobs inbetween! I think luck is a huge factor! #MuseumHour
