Culture Minister Takes On Internship at Chemnitz Industrial Museum

Boss Ladies Get Dirty: Culture Minister Rolls Up Sleeves for Industrial Museum Internship

Culture Minister Engages in Apprenticeship at the Industrial Museum in Chemnitz - Culture Minister Takes On Internship at Chemnitz Industrial Museum

Yo, check it out! The German Museums Association is inviting bigwigs like government officials for quick-fire museum internships. First up to bat is Barbara Klepsch, president of the Culture Minister Conference and head honcho of the Saxony ministry. Catch her next Wednesday at the Industrial Museum in Chemnitz, scrubbing stuff, setting up an exhibition, and showing the young 'uns how it's done when it comes to operating the machinery. They're gonna film the whole shindig and release it as a short doc.

Sylvia Willkomm, head honcho of the German Museums Association, says this exclusive assignment is all about improving the understanding of museum work among the big brass. Politicians will dig deep into the nitty-gritty of museum operations, getting the lowdown on areas and challenges they may have overlooked pre-internship. The ultimate goal is for them to make well-informed decisions that are fully-informed and based on a solid understanding of the museum game. In the future, politics and museum practice will be clicking like a well-oiled machine.
