If you plan to indulge in the artistic masterpieces created from any period or artist
, you should learn all you can about the opportunities available. If you want to work in a museum there are many opportunities available for you to learn about. Of course you don't want to trust all the information you read online so mix up your sources from the internet, people in the business, and from text books written on the topic. The most important things to learn are where to find the items you want to purchase and how to tell if an item is authentic. While it's true that you may want the less expensive, non-authentic version of a piece, it's very important that you know which is which.
