How it Works: The Art of Cataloguing with Curator Ann Poulson

In the second episode of How It Works, we go over the basics of cataloguing, which is how we gather information about works of art that have joined our collection. It turns out describing pictures can be a lot harder than you might think. Try it out!

HOW IT WORKS
How It Works invites young people and their family and friends into the world of museum work.
