Who is a "curator"?
A curator is a person responsible for organizing and managing a collection of items in a museum, gallery, or other cultural institution. They select and arrange artworks, historical objects, or artifacts for display, ensuring that exhibitions are educational, interesting, and well-organized. Curators also research and explain the items in their care, often working on creating educational labels and categorizing the collection. They may also be involved in organizing special events or exhibitions and collaborating with other experts to improve the presentation and understanding of the collection.
