Reopening the Cabinet of Curiosities: The Case for Personal Museums

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509481/fan_mail/new] As we close the door on the first season of The Curator’s Attic, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us on this journey through the dusty corners of history. I also take this opportunity to make a case for people to create their own personal museums with their beloved objects and, in the process, change their relationship with museums.   Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509481/support]

The Golden Bible

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509481/fan_mail/new] In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story that offers more insight into who I am. It revolves around a Bible I took from a hotel, which represents much more than its Christian teachings. For me, this Bible symbolizes a time of loss, discovery, and the strong bond I share with my mother.  We will also examine how museums can innovate by extending their influence beyond their walls.
