Introducing Me

My name is Lindsay Davis and I’ve known I want to work at a museum “when I grow up” since the 8th grade. Now, as a first year student in the Museum Studies student at the University of Missouri – St. Louis, I am well on my way to turning that dream into reality.

To me, museums present wonderful opportunities to make people fall in love with history by employing a variety of engaging methods, including elements that allow the audience to interact and even participate in the collective story of our past. The high school history textbook that represents the extent of the general public’s knowledge (and usually hatred of) history simply cannot achieve this.

This blog is a space first and foremost for me to learn and to dabble in the subjects that fascinate me and the stories that excite me. If you choose to follow along, I hope you learn something too.

Welcome to Museum Musings. (Yes, I thought I was very clever coming up with that name.)
