Every Cloud has a Silver Lining. Between the Utopia and the Reality of Professional Life

Abstract

Class after class, discussion after discussion, arguments have come and gone about the improvement of the Museum, the exhibitions, the curatorship and the museography; revolutions of the mind have taken place among classmates and teachers and sometimes, just sometimes, we have achieved the unfathomable: to save the Museum. Still we go out of school and enter the professional life just to crash against the unbearable reality: the bureaucratic and stagnated system we have to follow. Here is my experience in real life and away from the classroom.
