If you appreciate studying about history and are dedicated to promoting others’ knowledge, a museum curator profession may be for you.

Curators of museums and art galleries oversee collections of artefacts of aesthetic, scientific, historical, and popular importance.

Museum curators purchase, conserve, and display museum collections to the public.

Curation frequently entails a wide range of duties, including:

• Museum funding raising
• Making instructional resources related to collections
• Authenticating objects
• Creating exhibitions

Art museum curators must be professionals in art, art history, and art authenticity and conservation. Historians must work as curators at history museums. Science museum curators must have some scientific training.

You can get into this job through:

1. A university course
2. An apprenticeship
3. Working towards this role

You may be able to start by doing an advanced apprenticeship in heritage and cultural operations. This could lead into museum or gallery assistant or educator jobs. With further training and several years’ experience, you could apply for curator roles.

Museum curator positions, on the other hand, are beneficial for individuals who are interested in history and wish to integrate it with their creative ability.

You may encounter the following situations in your day-to-day duties:

Choose, purchase, or borrow stuff.

Researched, identified, and catalogued collections.

Ensure that exhibits are safe, secure, and stored in the proper conditions.

Assist visitors in understanding and enjoying exhibitions and artefacts.
