Curatorial Practice
Critical to the research, safeguarding, and display of museum objects and living collections, curators’ roles have continued to expand in museum practice. Beyond collection work, today’s curator engages the community by fostering civic, social, and cultural dialogue about ideas and creativity through public examination, interaction, research, interpretation, and exhibition of arts, sciences, and humanities collections.
