Museum curator

Museum curators develop and care for collections and create the exhibitions that interpret them. The work involves researching and building collections, developing exhibitions and interpretation, caring for objects, contributing scholarship, and combining subject expertise with the storytelling that brings collections to the public.

They work in museums of all kinds. The role suits scholarly, creative, knowledgeable people with deep subject expertise who can build and interpret collections, develop compelling exhibitions, contribute research, care for objects, and combine the scholarship of their field with the curatorial creativity that turns collections into experiences that educate and engage the public.
