What have you always wanted to ask a curator or museum specialist?
February 12, 2008 About my museum job, BlogsIf you were able to ask a museum specialist or curator any question(s) you liked, what would you ask?
Do you have questions about the forthcoming Jack the Ripper exhibition at the Museum in Docklands, or the Capital City project (a major rebuild of the galleries that tell the story of London from 1666 to the present day) at the Museum of London? Has your visit to Outside Edge or London, Sugar & Slavery raised issues? Is there something you’d specific you’d like to see us write about on the blogs?
You can leave a comment below or contact us directly.
While we can’t promise to answer every question we’ll do our best to answer each one. If you want to see the answers you could subscribe to our blog so you’ll see new posts as they’re added.
Don’t be afraid to ask something ’stupid’ – it’s probably something lots of people wonder about but don’t dare ask!

Hmmm…cool!
* Where do you put all the stuff when its not on display and
how much stuff do you have in storage like that?
* What sort of tasks does a curator do on an average day?
* How does the curator work with the rest of the museum team and teams from other museums?
* Do curators live a double life like Indiana Jones?
