acquisition, exhibition, care and management of the renowned collections of

and provoke thought. The two museums are co-administered and share the same 
staff.

The incumbent will be responsible for the day-to-day and long term photographic 
needs for the museum. The incumbent will complete photography and other digital

illuminate cavities or minute parts of an object.  Must be able to communicate 
clearly and tactfully with high-level museum personnel and business 
representatives.
