and racial profiles of the staff remain less diverse than it could be presumed (Dudley, 2013). The initial study of art museum diversity of the United States art sector indicated that 60 percent of the total museum workers had been positioned as curators, educators and conservationists. White women mainly occupied these positions. Research has shown that there have been inexistent pipelines throughout history, resulting in the presumed leadership positions for underrepresented minorities. These

There are many layers to be peeled back with a critical eye.

I visited the Ancient American exhibit at the Field Museum and analyzed the voices that I heard within the different sections: the researchers, the curators or the people. Throughout the exhibit, I heard different voices, but the strongest voice I heard was the curators who put together the exhibit.

This position placed Josh Ruffell in charge of six different departments and required expertise in areas that ranged from wildlife shows and animal care to grounds-keeping and audiovisual services.

pertaining to how museums are arranged by curators and other museum staff to effectively display their artifacts. I wish to dive into this literature because part of my own research will be examining how the curators of the Cleveland Museum of Art decided to arrange their ancient Greek exhibit. This pool of literature will help guide me in different ways to interpret the set-up of the exhibit, the placement of the objects and try to understand what the curator was trying to convey with their design

The curators achieve this by communicating some important historical facts. This review intends to expound on how these works exemplify these facts and to provide a criticism of its effectiveness. The exhibition is organized systematically and chronologically

Aurelius in a passage which is subject to series of discussions. Savigny argues as follows— Up to the time of Marcus Aurelius there were only three cases or kinds of Curatorship (Curatela) That which was founded on the lex Plaetoria, by which a minor who wished to enter into a contract with another, asked the praetor for a curator, stating the
modes of communication in the workplace (both formal and informal) will be quintessential in ensuring that order is maintained and communication between colleagues and departments is effective and allows little room for distortion. In the position of curator I will need to ensure that the communication channels between employees with my department are organised and allow for information to be transmitted successfully. If the flow of formal messages between myself, my supervisors, and my department is
Museums collect information to show to the public for educational advancement and personal enjoyment. Museum curators have a very imperative job, when it comes to the success of a museum. Museum curators take the time and dedication to find artifacts that not only fit the theme of the museum but they also have to consider price, authenticity, and origin. The artifacts chosen mush hold a “Wow” factor registering remembrance and relevance into the minds of its visitors. The artifacts should be
