Please join us for informal get-togethers at which we discuss a wide range of museum-related issues. These meetings serve as a venue for MSP students to discuss their internships and research or to present papers they will be delivering at professional meetings. We occasionally invite a special guest to address a particular topic.

All brown bags meet from noon to 1:00 pm. All sessions are open to the public . . . BYOL (bring your own lunch), and are held in the Multi-Purpose Room on the First Floor of the U-M Museum of Art.
