I'm organising a summer seminar/internship programme on archival work in Florence and could use some input. For those of you who have done archival work, what sort of things did you wish you knew at the very beginning? And for those of you who don't have any experience, what do you want to know about the most?

saw a tiktok of a mother taking her very tiny daughter to an art museum and she’s just walking around going “whoooa” “woooaah” to everything but then they got to a marble statue of a nude woman lying on her back and the girl points and goes “mommy🫵” and i just immediately welled up with tears and all the comments are just laughing about it and of course it’s funny but how are you not insanely moved by the way art connects everyone on earth from a centuries-old sculptor to a toddler in 2023
