A Day in the Life of the Galt

I have been wanting for the last while to do a blog about A Day in the Life of the Galt -- a way to show some of the very many jobs and happenings that go on during a typical day at the Galt. Today, Michelle Hood, who is working with our school programs for the next few months, went around the museum capturing staff and volunteers at various jobs and activities. Not all staff or departments are represented here. I may save a few of those photographs for another day....
