Museum Curator

A Museum Curator manages exhibitions and collections in museums. You might plan displays and collect information on exhibition pieces. Museum Curators may specialise in a particular topic or prepare displays on a range of subjects. You might provide information to visitors and ensure exhibitions are well maintained and up to date.

Museum Curators should have excellent attention to detail and be passionate about their museum pieces. It’s important you can communicate well and share your knowledge with members of the public. Museum Curators must have good research skills and have a strong knowledge of the subjects in their collections.
