Description
On this episode of A Closer Look, we talk to the Harvard Art Museums’ curator of modern and contemporary art, Mary Schneider Enriquez.

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.
