A curator is a professional responsible for managing and organizing collections in museums, galleries, or other cultural institutions. Their main tasks include selecting, acquiring, and preserving artworks or artifacts, as well as planning exhibitions to showcase these items to the public. Curators often conduct research to provide context and educational information about the collections they oversee. In addition to managing collections, curators also engage with the community by organizing events, lectures, and workshops. They collaborate with artists, historians, and other professionals to enhance the visitor experience and promote understanding of the art, history, or culture represented in their collections.
