Working at an art gallery, or museum, is often thought to be a glamorous profession, full of swanky parties, wine and cheese, and brushes with fame and fortune. I’m not going to disavow you of that notion. But it is also full of good old-fashioned work. Lots of it.

Here at the Tufts University Art Gallery, we don’t really run into fame and fortune too often, unless you count our sighting of Peter Gallagher (yeah, the dad on The O.C.) who, I swear, walked right by us on his tour of the Arts Center. The illustrious Tufts alum was here to give a speech. We tried to milk that sighting for all it was worth, but unfortunately I don’t think it upped our cool quotient with too many of the students here.

Anyway, fame and fortune aside, we do do a lot of important things. Paperwork, for one.

Filing. Or not, from the looks of things.

And all the fun stuff that goes into mounting exhibitions. Including building.

More later on that one!
