Ask A Curator

[@Clockworkcityofpain]

This is a great video, I'd love seeing more curators answer questions and show their favorite objects on more videos

Love this! I have a particular question about staging a historic home for tours. Our collection of dishes, glassware, and utensils for our very large dining room in this historic home is badly incomplete. We try to set a table and I believe we’ve been somewhat successful with what we have. However, as of late someone is pushing for us to use plastic simulated silverware on the table setting. Is silver plastic ware ever acceptable to use in a historic staging??? HELP…please!

this is used in school

But what did these people study? A general Curator degree or something in their specific fields, eg. Archeology?

[@ruth5464]

art history licence i think and then you do mastert etc

[@lewys9204]

They need a masters in specific fields. A degree goes as far as management but masters lets you teach.

An Arts Management degree

This is wonderful, I just wish there was more racial diversity in the line up of curators

Hmm the curators dont seem very charismatic neither excited. As a curator youd want to be slightly more engaged with your audience. They are curators after all, there job is to look after the items and put some on display for the general public - but these guys just made ne feel they took the job as a museum curator because it was what they got offered 🙄😐 wow just wow look how happy they look. Id imagine Archeologists and exploration teams would be slightly put off by this show and tell. Scale 1/10 video performance 4. Just looked so depressing 😐 Best museum I've ever been to was Washington dc, north - art display holiday / uni assignment London, war museum. University assignment Shanghai museum on culture, holiday / uni assinment These guys look as though they curate for an IKEA furniture store 🤔 just no jazz in their step.
