Group Not Registered Yet
Mission The purpose of this club is to allow students who are interested in pursuing careers in museum-type professions and students who are generally curious about museum work to explore the field and discuss various issues and current events in the museum community. The group works closely with the Bowdoin College Museum of Art; the staff at the Bowdoin College Museum of Art also serve as connections to other cultural institutions, allowing for SMC to visit nearby museums, meet with other museum staff members, and take part in their events. In addition to visiting museums and putting on museum-centric programing, SMC also works to create a space for casual student-driven conversations about the purposes, issues, and futures of museums, which could be joined by BMCA staff, Bowdoin professors, and/or visiting guests. With the SMC, students can become more involved in museum work, at the BCMA and other institutions, experience the many different facets of what a museum is and can do, have deep conversations around museums, and explore the possibilities of a career in the realm of cultural institutions.
