Why is the job important?
Jane Austen’s House Museum is the site most closely associated with the author. Consequently, we often find ourselves at the centre of debates about her. This is a bit daunting as a newcomer, but it’s great that the museum has such a national profile.
Other posts held
Curator of designs, Victoria and Albert Museum, London; curator, Garden Museum, London.
Qualifications
BA architecture, MA history of design, AMA, currently finishing a collaborative PhD at Queen Mary, London, and the V&A Museum of Childhood.
