WHY I CHOSE MUSEUM STUDIES: A SECOND CAREER

Michelle discusses why she chose Museum Studies at San Francisco State University: “Every
day is different. ... And we are able to get things done.”
The Museum Studies Program, the only of its kind at a public university in California, offers a
Master of Arts and undergraduate minor. Its 500-plus alumni have advanced to successful
careers, from the Getty to the Smithsonian.
Students gain professional-level experience on campus at the 1,922-square-foot Global
Museum, serving as a capstone experience. Students are responsible for preserving University
collections, designing exhibitions, conducting research, creating educational programs and
supporting visitors.
Permanent collections include art and material culture from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Egypt
and Oceania, spanning the ancient world to the 20th century. Highlights include the mummy
Nes-Per-N-Nub, once a high priest of the Temple of Karnak. His remains occupy a triple-nesting
sarcophagus, one of only three in the United States. Adolph Sutro, San Francisco mayor in the
1890s, purchased the mummies and displayed them at the Sutro Baths until the mid-1960s.
George K. Whitney Jr. donated them to SF State in 1964.
