Big throwback to the early 1990s when I was just beginning my 30+ year career in the museum field. Why does it feel like yesterday? #MuseumProfessional #MuseumWork #1990s #ColonialWilliamsburg #CWF #HistoricTrades #Throwback

About me: still surprised to find myself a #museumprofessional after 20+ years as archivist, curator, director, and now #museumstudies professor. But it's a good surprise. Field is complicated and flawed (as is every field); committed to honoring the complexities & working on the flaws.

Trained as French historian (cultural/gender/women's history, 1789 Revolution); now writing about what a painting's attribution can tell us about the meaning of #authenticity and the role of the #artmarket.
