    “by guggenheim exhibition designer Alya James. begins to explain the many moving parts in the making of temporary shows *at museums,* encompassing the teams at play and the factors in making space that's not necessarily meant to shine. many more words could be said but alya describes the unseen—the lack of a direct path to this line of work and the planning that makes you experience museums the way you do. purely for the educational enrichment of you and my extended family should i ever be asked again what it is that i do”
