I love all things historical and my dream job would be to work with a museum, auction house, antique store, etc to handle the precious objects that come through.
Is Anthropology an ideal major?
Art History?
Classics?
Thank you :)

The occupations I’m interested in are museum curator, rare books dealer, that sort of thing. I also take three languages, which I heard helps in these fields, but what else should I look into?
Art history, definitely that one, but since I suspect I may head more towards artifacts (old furniture, decor, writings) and not art as much, any additional suggestions?
