The Museum Curator’s Guide is a practical reference book that explores the core work of the curator within a gallery or museum setting.
Commencing with an overview of current material culture and museum studies theories, Nicola Pickering discusses their practical application within collections. Using specific case studies, she considers the role of the curator, their duties, day-to-day work, interaction with and care or preservation of objects, and the myriad ways objects can be catalogued, displayed, moved, arranged, stored, interpreted and explained in a present-day museum. As such, this book is an essential resource for students and professionals alike.
