Object Lessons: #askacurator
What exactly does a curator do? How do you decide what "stuff" goes into an exhibition? How do you even decide on the topic for an exhibition? Leading up to Sunday's program, tweet us your questions @ISU_Museums using hashtag #askacurator or email them to dwitter@iastate.edu. Object Lessons is a hands on experience and conversation about what we can learn by looking at art.
