A lovely museum in a nice town and university
Pros
The PUAM is a formidable art museum for a college and has a great collection. The museum is continuing to expand, both in terms of collection and grounds, and reaching to other audiences. The staff is supportive, and curating for special exhibitions can be a good amount of work but also very satisfying. The student guides and the other docents are also very friendly and I enjoyed working with them enormously. You might need to work on weekends but that is only for events and you'd be glad to attend.
Cons
Some of us feel a little overqualified, but that is the situation in the job market in arts and museums. I'm glad to be heading to a role where I could do more as a curator of my period of art, but will definitely miss the students and the lovely atmosphere at Princeton.
