Docents Crucial to Lifelong Learning
Brinton Museum Assistant Curator Lacasa Michelena discussed the value of museum docents in the Saturday, February 26 issue of The Sheridan Press Scene.
“The key word when talking about museums and education is “docent.” The Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of the term is simply “a person who leads guided tours especially through a museum or art gallery.” A docent’s role is not simple, though. The ideal docent is a vibrant, engaging and Knowledgable representative of a museum.” Assistant Curator Lacasa Michelena
