Abstract

This StoryMap dives into the world of behind the scenes roles at Twin Cities art museums through a series of interviews with industry professionals with the central question being how they view the future of museums from their perspective. This question guided our conversations, with topics including: accessibility, labor and compensation, the changing role of institutions after COVID-19, and technology’s impact on the field. This narrative-based methodology seeks to amplify the voices of those who work in less visible roles within museums and the impact of their work regarding DEAI, the art viewing experience, and the preservation of the artists’ vision through exhibition design. A phenomenological approach was taken to further examine the main topics and current events within the field.
