As a curator, you’ll use your organisational, research and design skills to create exhibitions and installations to inform and inspire people. Here you can find out more about working as a curator, including what you should study or work on to build your career.
Your career development in this area will often involve working across different employers and roles over time. Flexibility and determination will be useful in a competitive field.
You might start as a junior curator or administrative assistant before working your way up to a full curatorial position. Finding an area of interest could see you moving into more specialised positions or you may take on senior or managerial roles as you gain experience.
Freelance and self-employed work is possible for curators looking for varied work and greater flexibility.
Several professional industry bodies are relevant to curators and will help you further develop your skills and network. An associateship or fellowship of the Museum Association (MA) will allow you to prove your experience and professionalism to potential employers.
