What does a curator actually do, and how does their\u00a0role fit into the work of a museum as a whole? This session – co-organised by the Arts Institute, Doctoral Training Centre in the Arts & Humanities and the Graduate School at Plymouth University – will explore these questions with particular reference to the V&A, looking at different kinds of curatorial practice such as developing exhibitions, working with permanent collections and developing a new museum.<\/p>\n

It will look at the different elements of curatorial work and the skills required for it, the factors that influence curatorial practice and the way that the role of a curator interacts with a wide range of disciplines and expertise inside and outside the museum.<\/p>\n

Joanna Norman is Deputy Head of Research at the V&A, and Lead Curator for V&A Dundee, a new museum of design that will open in 2018.\u00a0 Having begun her museum career in the department of Prints and Drawings at the British Museum, she joined the V&A in 2005 as the assistant curator for the V&A\u2019s 2009 \u2018Baroque\u2019 exhibition. Subsequently, she co-curated the 2010 exhibition \u2018Treasures from Budapest\u2019 at the Royal Academy of Arts and researched and managed \u2018Handmade in Britain\u2019, a series of television programmes made by BBC4 in collaboration with the V&A.\u00a0 From 2012, she was project curator for the V&A\u2019s Europe 1600-1815 galleries, the redisplay of the Museum\u2019s permanent collections of 17th<\/sup>– and 18th<\/sup>-century European art and design, which opened in December 2015.
