Leslie Kim has been a member of the Albuquerque Museum staff for less than a year.
For the past several months as curator of history, Kim has delved into what she knows best – history.
The result is the exhibit “Recent History Acquisitions.”

Kim says that when museum visitors view historical objects on display, they may not be thinking about how those objects came into the museum in the first place.
She says the exhibit explores how the museum acquires, cares for and chooses to present collections.
