In this episode, Peter sits down with the museum’s Lead Preparator, Prof. Michel Droge, to discuss the skills and creativity needed to be a preparator and an artist. Topics range from the relationship between art and preparation to Greek poetry to the wonders of the deep sea. If you want to learn more, check out Michel’s website here.

You can also find the book of poetry we mentioned in the episode featuring Michel’s work, Elegiaca Americana by Claire Millikin, here.

All music composed and produced by Oliver Todreas. Cover art by Lucy Sherman.
