No known restrictions

Welcome to Curator’s Central, where you’ll find all things curatorial.

We love curators on Open Museum, and are happy to work with you if you’re interested in becoming one. It takes a little work, a little time, and a little commitment.

If you think you’d like to become a curator of a new or existing museum, take this quick self-test:

*Do you have an idea for a museum and access to its content (whether it be virtual or bricks and mortar)?

*Do you have access to a high speed internet connection (satellite or better; not dial up modem)?

*Have you read and watched all of the material provided in the curator resources?

*Are you willing to work closely with the Open Museum team to plan and fully launch your museum?

*Are you willing to commit to posting a new object (thickened with multiple facets) each week?

*Are you willing to meet, greet and generally interact with visitors to your museum?

*Are you willing to give it a whirl for at least 3 months?

If you’ve answered “YES!” to these question, then you would be a great curator! Please contact us. If you’ve answered “Bummer, no” to some of these, let us know what might prohibit you from becoming a curator and we can see if we can work around it.

Here are some helpful resources for current and future curators:
