Being an intern at the Museu Nacional means being part of the team. During the six months I spent at the museum, I was granted with an opportunity to be a part of several projects as well as to bring my own ideas into life. I want to talk a bit about a completely unplanned piece of work, which ended up as a virtual tour.<\/p>\n<p>The most interesting things come out of the blue. That is how the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.museunacional.cat\/en\/evolution-woman\">The Evolution of Woman<\/a><\/em> virtual itinerary was actually created. While preparing the promotional campaign for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museunacional.cat\/en\/xavier-gose-1876-1915-illustrator-modernity\">Xavier Gos\u00e9 exhibition<\/a> opening I was researching the materials about the artist\u2019s main inspirations for work: the lifestyle of the beginning of the 20th century, the fashion of the Belle Epoque period and the image of women of Modernity.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/148459559\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h6><\/h6>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/148495550\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>I got so engaged with the topic that I didn\u2019t even notice how far I had stepped aside from the main issue. We could not fit those materials into the programme dedicated to Gos\u00e9. However, there was enough information to set up a virtual tour that would have its perfect place and time. As long as most of the artworks involved were part of the museum <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museunacional.cat\/en\/advanced-search-piece\">online collection<\/a>, we decided that it would be a good complement to the Museu Nacional\u2019s digital space. Moreover, the materials about the changes in fashion and development of women\u2019s costume turned out to be so closely connected with the general changes in society, including women\u2019s liberation, emancipation and the beginning the feminist movement, that, obviously, we saved a special date for it: March 8, the International Women\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6231\" style=\"width: 264px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.museunacional.cat\/en\/colleccio\/womans-exhibition\/harry-loud-bridwell\/000088-c\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6231\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6231\" class=\"wp-image-6231\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.museunacional.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/womans-exhibition.jpg\" alt=\"womans exhibition\" width=\"254\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.museunacional.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/womans-exhibition.jpg 461w, https:\/\/blog.museunacional.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/womans-exhibition-152x300.jpg 152w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 254px) 100vw, 254px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Harry Loud Bridwell. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museunacional.cat\/en\/colleccio\/womans-exhibition\/harry-loud-bridwell\/000088-c\"><em>The Woman&#8217;s Exhibition<\/em><\/a>, 1902<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This day is not just a general celebration of respect and appreciation towards women, but also a celebration of women&#8217;s economic, political, and social achievements.

With this project, I pursued an aim to show that if we want something to be changed we have to force it on our own. I guess this idea comes out pretty clear from the itinerary\u2019s epigraph: \u2018They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself\u2019 (Andy Warhol).<\/p>\n<h3>Related links<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.internationalwomensday.com\/\">International Women\u2019s Day <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.museunacional.cat\/en\/women_artists\">Women Artists of Museu Nacional<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Valeria Nepeina<\/strong>, Intern from the Master\u2019s Degree on Arts and Cultural Management UIC (International University of Catalonia)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being an intern usually means having lots of routine tasks and minimum responsibility.
