Just finished reading the book Museum: Behind The Scenes At The Metropolitan Museum of Art by Danny Danziger. Danziger interviews museum employees, from maintenance staff to trustees, creating a uniquely intimate profile of the institution. Many people talk about favorite works and exhibits but they also reveal their personal stories and paths to working at the museum. More than just caretakers, they bring life and vibrancy to one of the city’s most popular venues. Very interesting and absorbing read, great for the subway.
