I like to consider material on its own terms, in its own context, and at the same time think critically about the bigger historical picture to which art belongs.
The best part of the job is the fun of experiencing the Louvre’s
masterpieces as a conversation with Muse visitors. I always try to mold my
teaching to visitors’ interests, and Paris Muse tours allow me to do just that
– to get to know them and adapt my tour accordingly.
I can see visitors’ eyes light up when they discover
a key element that cracks open the story the work has to tell. This is a moment
teachers long for, and I get to experience it all the time.
