    • Arts

Erik Lindahl's road to the exhibitions team at the Harvard Art Museum included work as an artist, a studio assistant, a scenic carpenter, and a lead preparator at the Oriental Institute Museum in Chicago. In this episode of A Closer Look, we talk to Erik about learning on the job, working in post-war Afghanistan, and why loving art is critical to succeeding in his field.

On Season 1 of A Closer Look, we’re exploring museum jobs: why we wanted them, how we got them, and what they’re really like! Through a series of conversations with colleagues, hosts Tara Metal and Michael Ricca will seek to demystify the museum world, discuss some surprising career paths, and explore jobs you may never have considered.
