Dana Golan Miller, a Museum Education Program master's student and Fulbright Israel Fellow, is completing her field placement at the Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum. Last week, she hosted a group of Fulbright Israel Public Humanities Fellows who visited the museum and explored the new exhibit, REVOLUTIONS. She introduced the fellows to her supervisor, Tiffany McGettigan, who is Head of Education and also an alumna of GSEHD's Museum Education Program, as well as the curator, Marina Isgro.
Ms. Golan Miller's spring field placement showcases the program's integration of theory into practice, emphasizing the collaborative efforts between GSEHD and local museum institutions. It exemplifies academic training that deepens understanding of museums as institutions and explores innovative strategies for engaging diverse audiences with contemporary art.
