Objects are vessels into which we pour a range of associations including our ideas, ambitions, values, identities, histories, fears, recollections . . . in short, ourselves. Museums hold these objects for others to experience. As a museum professional, scholar, and professor, I am devoted to bringing these associations to light through the organization, presentation, and interpretation of these objects.
