Petra Lehtoruusu

I am an art historian, museum professional and cultural producer currently working full-time on my PhD thesis on the history of Finnish historical culture. I am passionate about art and historical culture, and wish to research and help manage our cultural heritage as well as to develop new ways of making artworks and historical artefacts accessible to the public. Project work in the museum field and managing corporate art collections has provided me with a proficiency in collections management, while my experience as a gallery assistant and freelance curator has helped me to develop skills in exhibition planning and production as well as event coordination. I am constantly looking for new challenges, opportunities to learn new skills and to improve my expertise in collections management, curating and cultural production.
