Hansplaining: A Beginner's Guide to Provenance

What even is provenance? In our first Hansplaining episode, Hannah introduces the concept of provenance and through a list of 3-ish things articulates its relevance for both those within the field of museum studies and those outside of it.

 And thanks to a framework created by Daniel Tiger of all people (animals?), we discuss what it means to think about the way museums acquire objects, give you language to talk about the issue, and encourage everyone to construct a plan.
