NMAI Artist Leadership Program Part 3: Smithsonian Museum Support Center

The first week of our trip to Washington, D.C. was spent in orientation, getting hands on with our first set of artifacts, artist training, and a lunchtime presentation at the Cultural Resources Center. We also made our first visit to the Library of Congress, but we'll save that experience for another post. For this one, here are photos from our experience in the MSC where we handled artifacts in the National Museum of Natural History Department of Anthropology.

Amazing...the things beyond those doors

NMAI Artist Leadership Program Part 2: Artist Training

It wasn’t a sightseeing trip. No vacation. We went to Washington, D.C. to work. Not saying there wasn’t plenty of fun along the way. But I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves.
