Museum curators are the people who care for the collections of a museum and present them to the public. They study the condition of the objects in their charge, working with conservators to preserve them as well as possible. Together with the education and communication departments of their museums, they display and explain to the public the art in their museums. They research the authorship and history of the objects in their collection, write collection catalogues, guidebooks and wall labels. They also organize loan exhibitions and write exhibition catalogues. Should you like to read more about the work of a curator, please also visit the Curator in the Spotlight pages
