I stopped by the Information desk and spoke to the “lovely Jim Harrington”, as he referred to himself, and asked why he loves working at this museum. He responded: “The people. From the visitors to my colleagues, I love having the opportunity to mingle with people.”

Heading out of the museum, I spoke to Megan Stillman, a volunteer working at the Austin Museum tent. When I asked the purpose of the event, she replied, “For people to become more aware of what Austin has to offer while helping the museums because it increases membership” #19J1
