About This Podcast
Museum Backstage takes you behind the velvet ropes into the hidden grind of museums, galleries, and cultural spaces. This is where the real work happens, preserving collections, solving problems, and keeping culture alive.
Our bold vision is to spotlight the people who do not usually get the mic, but make it all possible. Guests include museum directors, collection managers, architects, conservators, and cultural influencers with stories that pull back the curtain and challenge the way you see museums.
