Recipient feedback
The new skills I have developed, and the experiences I have had at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection helped build my confidence in practicing museology. The wide range of roles I undertook at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection included interacting with the public, giving talks and tours, working with other museum professionals and teaching what I had learnt to new interns. The experience has helped make me a more well-rounded individual ready to work in a museum environment.
