The programme aims to get more ethnic minorities into the museum sector,although it wasn't easy to get onto. First, I completed an applicationform and then I went through a gruelling interview.
For two weeks in August I travelled to Leicester Square everyday,working with curators, conservationists, exhibitionists, publishers andmarketers.
I worked in lots of different departments and did various thingsincluding a presentation on how to make the National Portrait Gallerybetter for young people.
I loved every second of it; every morning on the tube I looked throughmy notes, every afternoon I stayed late, and every night I was exhaustedbut exhilarated.
It has been a fabulous experience, which I hope to build on. Who knowswhere I'll be in 10 years' time?
