Museum curation is the process of selecting, organizing, and managing a collection of artifacts, artworks, or specimens within a museum. Curators are responsible for researching and interpreting these items, ensuring they are displayed in a way that educates and engages the public. They also oversee the preservation and care of the collection, making decisions about what to exhibit and how to present it. In addition to managing collections, curators often develop educational programs and exhibitions that enhance visitor experiences. They collaborate with other professionals, such as conservators, educators, and artists, to create meaningful displays that reflect cultural, historical, or scientific significance.
