An assistant curator is a person who works under the guidance and supervision of a senior curator in a museum or art gallery. Their primary responsibility is to assist with the care, management, and organization of collections within their area of expertise. This may include tasks such as cataloging, researching, installing exhibits, and helping to develop educational programs related to the collection. Assistant curators often work closely with other staff members, including conservators, registrars, and preparators, to ensure that the museum's collections are well-preserved and accessible to the public.
