September 5th, 2014Culture, International
Because museum people like numbers…I’ve been asked a few times about the history of Ask A Curator day. I’ve also been asked about numbers because cultural people are OBSESSED with numbers. Here is a bit of fun stats such as breakdown of countries, history of AskaCurator Day and answers to questions I get (a lot).
