Guggenheim

 I initially began working for the Guggenheim in the visitor services department, but later was accepted as an intern in the Conservation Department under Carol Stringari. The Guggenheim's Conservation Department is not housed in the fifth avenue museum know for its spiraled architecture, but on Manhattan's frontier. In west midtown near 12 avenue a hidden door is nestled amongst taxi mechanics, the hot dog vendors grungy headquarters and even an abandoned gentlemen's club. The location is understandably kept secret, but very few would imagine that behind this dingy unmarked door is the center of so many beautiful works and the custodians who strain to keep them safe and presentable.
