- Title
Museums Ate My Baby (Blanket): Folk Art, Oddities, and Blood Sauce.
- Authors
Medel, Jackson
- Abstract
This creative essay explores the ways that the fields offolklore and museum studies form a complementary pair, with mutually beneficial and engaging areas of study and interest. It is anchored by a discussion of my intellectual development and perspective in relation to a key mentor, Dr. Anand Prahlad. This complementarity is demonstrated with specific examples offolk art in museums-and the fundamentally odd things that museums collect and folklorists study.
