Harvard Art Museums

On this episode of A Closer Look, we talk to the Harvard Art Museums’ curator of modern and contemporary art, Mary Schneider Enriquez. Mary, whose exhibitions have included "Mark Rothko’s Harvard Murals" and "Doris Salcedo: The Materiality of Mourning," discusses leaving grad school, living in Mexico, discovering a love of teaching, and the joys and challenges of curatorial work. On Season 1 of A Closer Look, we’re exploring museum jobs: why we wanted them, how we got them, and what they’re really like! Through a series of conversations with colleagues, hosts Tara Metal and Michael Ricca will seek to demystify the museum world, discuss some surprising career paths, and explore jobs you may never have considered.
