So your podcast about Teatro de la Mode was actually my first time hearing about Maryhill.

It became a symbol of what Maryhill could be with job hunting after graduating.

And it has this anxiety-induced grad student glimmer of hope.

I'm Brielle Pazala.

I'm the collections manager at Maryhill Museum of Art.

I started this summer and I lucked out.

Honestly, the day-to-day is like monitoring and maintaining the galleries, ensuring that there's no unwanted six-legged critter visitors.

And it's smaller than other museums, but its impact is bigger than it is.

feels like it should be.

This place, two hours drive from Portland, is actually like a treasure.

It's really nice just seeing the different usages of the materials and just the variety.

Learning about the permits we used to have for the export, import, and re-import of endangered and extinct species of feathers.

Yeah, especially in the hats.

Like hummingbirds, birds of paradise.

And sometimes you can just see who came just for Teatro de la Mode because they dress up.
