Professional ProfilesMuseum curator

Extraordinary works of art, witnesses of a bygone era, documents of special people or events. Those who are fascinated by such artefacts should think about a future as a museum curator, because museum curators have extensive knowledge in this field.

Museum curators examine museum objects, plan exhibitions and organise museum loans. They collect, maintain, document and present museum collections and display them to their best advantage. As employees of a museum, they organise informative guided tours of the collections for children and/or adults. Museum curators are also needed in the sector of public administration where they are mainly concerned with the preservation and maintenance of monuments and the administration of castles and palaces. Museology is an unregulated profession. A completed degree (Master or Doctorate) in the field of museology is required. For this purpose, interested parties must resort to studying abroad.
