Welcome — I’m Adam Reed Rozan, a museum professional proudly working at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.
This site is my personal space to share Q&As, writing, video highlights, and special projects like The Closed Museum Project. You’ll also find links to organizations I care about — including IAE and CoMuseum — and a glossary that celebrates the words and ideas that shape museum work.
The views expressed here are my own.
