Data Science versus Curation and Registration: A Year in Museums

March means I've been museum focused for a year. Visiting. Volunteering. Interacting with guests, helping collections management. Classes on the skills and technology applied.

I've learned a lot. The museum approach to helping people learn, and helping people desire to learn, is amazing and deep. Museums do not have captive audiences. They have to market learning, make it desirable. And they do. And I think that data scientists should do so too.
