What kind of degree or major would this require?

Question

Working in a Museum, not necessarily art, but like a natural history museum. or really any kind. its something I wouldnt mind doing when I am older, and its interesting to me

Answer 1

I would assume a major in history like world history or ancient history, depending on what the museum is. Although it also depends on what u do for the museum, my aunt has a photography major and works at the natural history museum in LA.

Answer 2

How about anthropology..

I lifted the following info (en toto) from the internet.

WHAT IS ANTHROPOLOGY?

Anthropology is the study of humans. Anthropology is the only discipline that seeks to understand all aspects of human life, including past and present social and cultural  processes and biological adaptations. It does so by focusing on human variation in time and space, with four traditionally recognized sub-disciplines: archaeology, physical anthropology, cultural anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. As a consequence of its broad focus, anthropology is also an integrative discipline that brings together scholarly work in the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences.

Cultural Anthropology deals with the social lives of people around the world, including our own society: economic systems, legal practices, kinship, religions, medical practices, folklore, arts and political systems, as well as the interrelationship of these systems in environmental adaptation and social change.

Archaeology focuses on the material remains of human societies from the remote and recent past with emphasis on reconstructing and understanding past modes of human

cultural adaptation and change.

Physical Anthropology describes and compares world human biology. The focus is on humans and their primate order, seeking to document and understand the interplay of

culture and biology in the course of human evolution and adaptation.

Linguistics deals with varied aspects of human language and the characteristics of nonhuman communication systems, to achieve an understanding of past and present human language systems and their significance in social life.

Answer 3

A history major would be applicable. Maybe with a minor in art history. Even history museums have art. :)
