Hi, I am Erik Saxon. Currently, I am an undergraduate senior at Loyola University Chicago. My major is Classical Studies. My academic and career focus is in Classical archaeology. In the summer of 2011 I participated as a student volunteer for the Agora Excavation's 2011 season in Athens, Greece. While in Greece, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit many world renowned museums. It was during this time that I realized how beneficial it would be to gain working and educational experience in a museum through an internship.
I was particularly interested in the National Hellenic Museum because it exposes students to the daily operations of a mid-size museum. As an intern I will focus on collections and provenance research and exhibition development for the purpose of creating and engaging visitor experiences through exhibitions and public programming, specifically in subject areas related to Bronze Age Greece to the Classical period.
Thanks for visiting and stay tuned for more blogs to follow!
Kind Regards,
Erik
